Direct Member Representatives

Nominations are invited for Direct Member Representatives to take office for a period of one year after the end of the Annual General Meeting to be held on 18 October 2008.

For the purpose of the election of Representatives, Direct members are grouped into the following four categories:
(a) Honorary Life Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents, Corporate Vice Presidents, Honorary Life Members and Life Members.
(b) Full Direct Members, Family Members, Veteran Members, Student Members, Special Members and Members with Disabilities.
(c) Standard Members and Junior Members.
(d) Basic Members and Basic Junior Members.
Each of these four categories is entitled to elect two Representatives.

Nominations are sought among the four categories. If there are more than two nominations in any category, a first two past the post election will be held in that category in accordance with instructions to be issued by the Board.

Representatives are members of Council and must be and remain Direct members in the category for which they are elected throughout their period of office.

There are seven existing Representatives, who are eligible to stand for re-election if they so wish. New nominations need to be made by a Direct Member who is in the same group of members as the nominee and accepted by the latter. To be eligible, signed nominations and acceptances must be received at the ECF office by noon on Friday, 13 June 2008.
