Timetable of 2021/2022 GAGB Executive Elections

Below is the timetable for this year’s GAGB Executive Committee elections.

All GAGB members are eligible, and encouraged, to participate (stand, nominate, vote). As long as you are an ‘active’ member (defined as having interacted with us at some point in the last three years), you will receive a ballot to your registered email. Inactive members are able to request one after that.

This year there will be two elections: one for GAGB Chair and one 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.

Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions.
