Nominations for vacant positions on RGS-IBG Council
Positions on Council are nominated and elected by the Fellowship and bring with them the responsibilities of a Trustee of the Society. It is normally expected that Council members will also serve on (and chair in the case of Vice-Presidents and Honorary Treasurer) the Committee of Council relevant to the position to which they have been elected. Only Fellows of the Society may stand for positions on Council and only Fellows may propose candidates for election (this includes Postgraduate Fellows).
The deadline for making a nomination is 25 March 2012.
A list of vacant positions for election and more information about the responsibilities of Council members, can be found here: http://www.rgs.org/AboutUs/Governance/Nominations+for+Council.htm.
Candidates may only stand for one position. They must provide a short biographical note and the names of five Fellows of the Society supporting of their application (Proposing Fellows). Proposing Fellows may only support one candidate for any single position and must provide a brief summary of why the candidate is suitable for the Council position along with their Fellowship number.
