Call for nominations to the WFSA Council is now open
The call for nominations to the WFSA Council is now open. The WFSA Council is made up of 6 officers (who are also on the Board), the Chairs of WFSA Committees (currently 9 individuals) and 12-14 “at-large” or Geographical Region members.
WFSA currently seeks applications for “at-large” members for the term of office 2020-2024. This process will ultimately be decided by delegates at the General Assembly and if you wish to be elected you will need to be present at the General Assembly.
To facilitate the process, WFSA will need individual nominees to complete an online application together with a supporting letter from their nominating Society and a 1 page up-to-date CV. The online process will also ask individuals for their consent for their name and a brief biography to be placed on the WFSA website.
Those who have served 2 terms on Council and are not seeking further positions in the organisation (such as officer roles or roles on a Committee) will be eligible to join the WFSA Advisory Group, which is comprised of those individuals who have served the WFSA in an official capacity and who are willing to continue to contribute to the aims and aspirations of the organisation.
A more specific description of what is required of Council members is shown in this document ‘WFSA Council’ – the Member requirements of the Board and of specific officer roles are outlined in Appendix 2 in the document. A guide for how to use the online application system is available in this document.
