According to SRN constitution point 5. (Management of the Association) the Executive Council serves two years, except for the first year, when two posts serve for one year. The officers of the executive are Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer and Communications officer. In practice the executive has worked as a team. The executive is presented on the SRN web pages http://screenwritingresearch.com/about-us/ Carmen Sofia Brenes and Paul Wells have agreed to step down from the current executive.
On the meeting of May 28, 2013, we decided to expand the executive by one member. The new person is to take care of membership issues. Therefore, I hereby call for members to nominate individuals to two existing and one new post. Please note, that executive council members may offer themselves for re-election. If there are more than three nominations elections will be organized at the Annual General Meeting to be held during the next conference in Wisconsin-Madison on August 22, 2013 at 3:30-4:30 pm.
The nomination should be proposed and seconded by members of the network.
Please send a short statement (max. 250 words) explaining why you are seeking election or re-election by July 19, 2013 (midday, British summer time) to the officer of the elections. Ian W. Macdonald has kindly agreed to take over the election matters, his e-mail is [log in to unmask] . The file should include the names and the locations of the proposer and seconder. The nominations are forwarded to members right after the dead line. Other documents for the AGM will be sent by August 8th, at the latest.
Those not attending the Annual General Meeting will be asked to vote in a confidential email sent to the election officer. Votes must be received by email no later than August 19, 10:00 Wisconsin-Madison time. Members attending the AGM in person may cast their vote on the day of the election, by secret ballot. Both sets of votes will be counted together.
