The committee can appoint up to four additional committee members, and will be emailing members to seek nominations for those posts.

There were an unusually high number of nominations for men when we asked for nominations before the annual general meeting, so if you’re thinking about whether to nominate someone or seek nominations for one of the four posts, please bear this in mind.

(*The incoming committee has agreed Simon Hewitt will fill the elected vacancy created by Anna Fleming leaving the university for another job, this is subject to approval of the next ordinary general meeting.)
