If the motion is passed by Executive Committee, the webmaster will serve as an elected member within the already existing Executive Officer team (Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary & Public-Relations Officer). The Webmaster would be an active decision maker within the Executive Team, have voting rights and be eligible to participate in the annual international conference.
If the motion is passed, webmaster applications will be heard at the International Conference. A minimum of three platforms must be submitted for election to be taken forward. If the motion is not passed, your application will be considered for appointment to the existing Web Team by the Executive Officers.
