Onderwerp: [CONCH-L] open nominations for Council: Unitas Malacologica
Dear all
Unitas Malacologica, the world society for mollusc biology, is seeking new
faces to serve as our elected council members. Unitas is a global
organisation with international representation on council; the principle
activity of the organisation is the tri-annual World Congress of Malacology.
You may nominate any suitable person, including yourself, for this position
(subject to election by the membership). We need enthusiastic and energetic
people to fill these roles and take UM forward.
There are currently openings for members of council *and* officers for
three-year terms, terms start after the 2019 General Assembly at the WCM in
California.
We need
Secretary - responsible for council business, including annual research
awards Treasurer - responsible for society funds and budget; as the accounts
are in euros, it would be preferable to have a treasurer based in a eurozone
country General members of council (two openings)
We also welcome expressions of interest for the position as Communications
Officer - responsible for the website (and the currently defunct newsletter)
Nominations require a proposer and a seconder. As self-nomination is
acceptable this is generally the nominee and another supporter (the proposer
or seconder can also be a current member of council). Members of council
must be members of UM but the nominee can join at the time of nomination.
UM constitution and membership information are here (cf. Article IV, Section
1; Article V, Section 4):
http://www.unitasmalacologica.org/membership.html
The deadline for nominations for these positions is 4 June 2019.
A ballot must be held before the Annual General Meeting in August, and will
be circulated in advance in June to current members.
Please send your nominations, suggestions and questions to me
