As we steadily approach the AGM, there will be the opportunity for any member to step forward and help run one of the divisions. Normally, each of the Divisional Chairs steers the work programme for a period of two years and is then succeeded by the Vice Chair, who will have been shadowing that role. The AGM is your opportunity to volunteer to take up the post of Vice Chair.
This year, two members of the ESA Executive Team will step down as they have reached their maximum service period on the Committee. The ESA Executive Committee meets every quarter throughout the year for one day, and they help arrange and manage the affairs of the ESA. The role isn’t particularly demanding in terms of time, and each individual is responsible for their own travel expenses.
There is a reduction in your annual membership fees of €500 for taking up a position in the Divisions or on the Executive Committee. If you would like to contribute to the ESA, you can, of course, do so at any time, but if you also want to be more active, you can take on one of the positions. You can view the available positions in the Members area on the ESA website.
