Announcement of the Online General Assembly 2020
Posted on 21/10/2020
Dear All,
We are delighted to announce Climanosco’s Fifth General Assembly which will be held from Sunday 15 November to Monday 14 December 2020 on the Internet at the official General Assembly page: www.climanosco.org/ga2020.
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 up to 4 open seats including three with a preference for non-scientists.
If you are interested in getting involved, please send the following material by 4 November 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).
