Revisions to the ESRS Constitution
It was recognised at Chania that the existing ESRS constitution is a little vague
regarding the possible re-election of the President and members of the EC and also
makes it difficult to vary the possibilities for electing key officers to the Society. The EC
have therefore proposed a few minor changes to clarify the period of tenure for the
President and members of the EC. We have also added a clause to allow us to elect
members who had not previously been nominated in the event of nobody coming forward
for election before the GA. Please take some time to review these minor changes on our website
so that we can vote for them (or against them) at the GA:
