Nominations for Council

We are seeking to fill two vacancies on our Council from April 2024

Council meets quarterly in March, June, September and December of each year.

Nominations for election to any position on Council must be made in writing by two Members. Such nominations should be sent together with the nominee's consent, confirming their willingness to stand plus a short biography.
