As this year’s HWUCU AGM approaches we have 5 vacancies for Professional Services reps and we are looking for members to take up these roles. If you are thinking of getting a bit more involved in the Branch, becoming a School or Professional Services Rep is a great introduction. Full training for all roles is provided through UCU Training.
The AGM will be held on Zoom at 12noon on Wednesday, 25th of May 2022. The official AGM Convening Notice (including agenda items) will be circulated nearer the time along with details on how to join the meeting.
We also have another 9 roles which are up for confirmation (i.e. marked as ‘acting’) or election/re-election. The current incumbents listed below have confirmed that they wish to be re-elected or confirmed into these roles, however, any HWUCU member is free to stand for any of these roles.
If you wish to stand for any of these positions or wish to be re-elected or confirmed, please contact Juergen Munz at the local branch office for an nomination form. The form should be signed by two nominators and returned by 13 May. Emails of support are also acceptable.
