Election of Directors (General Board)

In accordance with the Rules of the Association, the AAUS Board consists of an Executive Committee (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary) and up to 11 General Board members. A total of five Board members elected at the 2022 AGM will step down from the Board at the forthcoming AGM but are eligible to offer themselves for re-election.  Members of AAUS are welcome to nominate for the AAUS Board.

Nominees for election to the Board must be financial Individual members of the Association or the nominees of corporate members. (Newsletter members are not eligible).  A nomination form is required, signed by a Nominator (who must be a financial member of AAUS) and by the Nominee.
