2020/2021 GAGB Chair & Executive Committee Elections

[Sharon - Sharant]

Timetable of 2020/2021 GAGB Executive Elections

All GAGB members are eligible, and encouraged, to participate (stand, nominate or vote). As long as you are an ‘active’ member (interacted with us at some point in the last three years) you will receive a ballot to your registered email. Inactive members can request one even after that. More details & rules are on the forum and the GAGB website.
This year there are two elections one for GAGB Chair and a second election for the eight Committee Member posts. Each candidate needs to receive two nominations from active members and in the proper GAGB forum to be valid, and the nominee must ‘accept’ the nomination by the due date.
The Chair post is for two years and the Committee Member posts are for one year.
All meetings are held online usually one per month.
