Dear All,
And with apologies to non-members. Just to let you know that the
nominations for the Society's council are now closed. We received
three nominations which is excellent and should bring council up to
full strength. You will shortly be receiving your AGM papers with
full details.
A number of people asked for details about being on council but did
not send in nominations - but don't think you get away that easily! I
would be interested in any feedback from anyone who thought about
volunteering but decided against it (in confidence, of course). We
would like to make sure that serving on council is useful and
enjoyable for those who do it and not merely a big chore so please
let me know if there are particular aspects that put you off.
If there are any of you out there who thought about joining council
and would like to become more involved in the Society there are
plenty of opportunities. The Society's special interest groups and
regions always need people and if we are to make the strategic plan a
reality there will be opportunities for people to join working
parties or committees in due course. Please contact me if you are
thinking of becoming more involved but are unsure about how to do this.
Particular thanks to the people who sent in nominations and to their
proposers and seconders; however, thanks to all of you who expressed
an interest. It makes my job much easier!
Jenny
