Call for nominations to the HERDSA Executive for 2023 - 2025 term
3rd March 2023 5.00pm AEST

This is a call for nominations for HERDSA Executive positions for the period July 2023 – July 2025.

The current HERDSA Executive will complete a two-year term at the end of June 2023 and all positions (except the President) are declared vacant.

The Executive consists of a President, President-elect (1-year term), conference convenor and eight elected members. The positions of Vice-President and Treasurer are determined within the Executive. Members of the Executive become members of one of the four portfolios: Secretariat, Publications, Professional Development and Networks. The portfolios are supported by a number of HERDSA Officers.

A call for nominations for the President-Elect position was made in March 2022 and Prof Kogi Naidoo was re-elected to this position for the July 2023 to July 2025 term.

In accordance with the Constitution the term of office for members of the Executive is two years. Individuals may serve up to three consecutive terms, after which they are no longer eligible for nomination in the following term.

If there are more than eight nominations for the Executive, a ballot will be held.

Full information is available on the HERDSA website at www.herdsa.org.au/call-nominations-herdsa-executive-2023-2025

This information includes:
• The names of the current members of the Executive and eligibility for re-election
• Position description for a Member of the Executive and Portfolio descriptions
• Details of the nomination process
• Nomination Form

While the HERDSA Constitution does not stipulate branch or regional representation, branches are encouraged to nominate a representative to provide a link between the Executive and the branch committees.

Being on the HERDSA Executive requires a commitment of time. Nominees should be able to commit to the role and it is recommended that they seek the support of their line manager (where appropriate).

The closing date for nominations is 5:00pm AEST Friday 3rd March 2023. The new Executive will be ratified at the HERDSA AGM to be held during the HERDSA 2023 conference in Brisbane, Queensland.
