alia board election 2021
Nominations have been sought for three positions that become vacant on the ALIA Board of Directors in May 2021:
- President
- Two general Directors.
Nominations
The response to the nomination process was very positive with the number of candidates exceeding the available positions in both categories. ALIA Members will now have an opportunity to vote to select the successful candidates.
The successful candidates will take office following our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 24 May 2021 and serve on the Board for two years.
They will be part of a seven-member Board comprising the President, Institutional Director and five general Directors. The Board will appoint one of their members to serve as the Vice President.
