Our current Chair and Treasurer, Sarah and Laura, have already extended their terms to provide cover during the pandemic, and would now like to offer these positions for election. Please see the attached role descriptions.
The deadline for applications is the 30th September. Please send a statement declaring your interest and experience, with a CV to [email protected]
Elections will be held via online Survey and the results announced at our AGM on 29th October.
