Next JETAA International Country representative
Lucy Shields two year term as Australian Country Rep is coming to an end. The position of JETAA International Country representative willbecome vacant.
It is not an onerous position, but would be most easily undertaken by someonewith a working knowledge of JETAA administrative processes at the chapterlevel. Lucy welcomes questions from potential nominees to australiajetaa@gmail.com or on 0419 344 926. Please contact her for a position description.
Nominees should send their nomination platform to australiajetaa (cc. ANZJETAA2 between10-15 OCTOBER 2009.
Voting (one vote per Australian chapter) will be held at the Oceania RegionalConference in November.
So, if you fancy a few junkets around the place (Lucy got trips to Paris andJamaica) with minimal work for an organisation that charitably may be describedas working at a glacial pace why not throw your hat in the ring?
