Do you know someone who would be great on Council?

The Nominations Committee invites members to submit suggestions for nominations. Individuals must be nominated by another member (please ask your nominee beforehand and confirm that they agree to be nominated).

The term of office will be from June 2018 until the AGM in 2021.

Council meets in-person once a year, before the AGM, either at an EASE conference or a similar event. Other meetings are held by teleconference. Council members are reimbursed their expenses for travel and accommodation for the face-to-face meeting but positions are honorary and there is no salary or fee.

We are especially looking for people with a passion for one or more of the following areas:

  • Training & skills development

  • Outreach to regional chapters

  • Research and participation in collaborative initiatives

  • Advocacy & liaison with external bodies (e.g. ISMTE)

  • Developing guidelines and other publications

  • Networking & social media



To nominate someone:


  1. Each person must be nominated by two members.

  2. The nomination must be sent to the secretary by 10th March.

  3. Each nomination must comprise:

    1. Name, affiliation and contact details of the two nominating members

    2. A signed letter (sent as PDF or similar) from the nominee agreeing to the nomination, stating their areas of interest and what benefits they can bring to EASE Council

    3. The cv of the nominee




Each nomination will be acknowledged by the secretary. Ballot papers will then be circulated to members, who will vote via e-mail.
