Announcement of the Online General Assembly 2019
Posted on 09/10/2019
MESSAGE TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION
Dear All,
We are delighted to announce that Climanosco’s Fourth General Assembly will be held from Friday 1 November to Saturday 30 November 2019 on the Internet at the official General Assembly page: www.climanosco.org/ga2019.
Elections for the Board of Directors
We warmly invite you to help shape the future of the Climanosco organization and send your candidature to become a Member of the Board of Directors. As per our Statutes, the Board of Directors is composed of 9 – 13 members in near-parity between scientists and non-scientists. This year we have 4 open seats including 3 for non-scientists.
If you are interested in getting involved, please send the following material by 22 October 23:59 UTC to the contact address below.
- A short bio;
- A statement on your vision for Climanosco (e.g. why you find this project important, what’s your vision for the next 10 years; you can be creative!);
This material will be made available to the logged-in members on the General Assembly page and will help them make a vote. Being a member of the Board of Directors will take you about 1 hour per week or less, on average, and you can make an impact. If you would like to know more about what is involved, don’t hesitate to take contact with any current director (see Board of Directors).
