Dear ISEA member, 
 
In November we will be holding our next AGM.  As per our current Bye Laws (clause 1.3), two of our four directors must retire their position. Directors can be immediately re-elected to their position subject to maximum term limits as specified in our Bye Laws. This signifies the end of the two-year term for the director roles of President and Secretary for the ISEA. The roles of Treasurer and Special Advisor will continue in post until the AGM in 2025.  

If you would like to nominate yourself to stand for the roles of President and/or Secretary, please complete the following online form and send a profile photo to isea@shu.ac.uk. Please note that the present incumbents, are eligible to stand for re-election to these roles. 

The nominations to stand for the Executive Committee (EC) is also now open. We have changed the way the EC is re-elected so will only be seeking 5 new members each year. We particularly welcome nominations from our student members as it is important to us that each section of our membership is represented. If you are interested, then please complete the same online form and send a profile photo to isea@shu.ac.uk. 

The continued success of the ISEA relies upon its members contributing to the running and strategic vision of the association.  The above opportunities provide a fantastic platform for the ISEA to benefit from the immense experience and expertise of its our members. 
 
For any questions around eligibility, please contact isea@shu.ac.uk 

The deadline for self-nomination is 22:00 (UTC+1) on Monday 30^th September 2024.  
 
Best regards,  
ISEA Executive Committee
