The Society's Annual General meeting will take place on Saturday 11 December 2010 at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. The Agenda and full details will be sent to all EES members in early November.
The Society’s Chair (Dr Ian Shaw) and the Vice-Chair (Dr Paul Nicholson) were due to retire at the AGM and had indicated to the Board on 2 July that they would not be seeking re-election. They have since resigned from the Board, as have three Trustees who were also due to retire at the AGM (Ms Janine Bourriau, Prof Dominic Rathbone and Dr Margaret Serpico) and two Trustees (Mr Robert Partridge and Dr Joyce Tyldesley) who were not due to retire this year.
The Board of Trustees will be nominating at the AGM Dr Karen Exell to serve a three-year term as Chair of the Society and Mr John J Johnston to serve a three-year term as Vice-Chair of the Society. Both are current serving Trustees and their brief biographies can be found on the 'Trustees' page. A letter to EES members from Dr Exell can be downloaded here.
No additional nominees from the membership for Trustees to be elected at the AGM on 11 December were received by the deadline of 2 October. Four members, whom the Trustees are nominating for election at the AGM, have been co-opted onto the Board with immediate effect, see the 'Trustees' page and here. The Board’s recommendations to fill the remaining three places will be uploaded after further consideration at the next meeting of Trustees.
