Getting involved with the AOUG
Volunteer as an
Executive Committee Member
You will need to be a full Graduate Member and then apply by completing the nomination form in the Winter OMEGA so that you can stand for election the following year. Each Executive Representative position requires three assenters from their own Region or Nation and each Officer position requires six assenters who can be from any Region or Nation.
Ballot papers are then circulated in the following Spring OMEGA and if you get sufficient votes, you will take up your position on the Executive Committee at the end of the AGM that year.
Please check the requirements of the role you wish to apply for prior to completing the nomination form to ensure you fully understand the responsibilities of the role.
