Young Academics Elections :: 2011
(Saturday, December 10, 2011, to Thursday, December 15, 2011)
Dear Young Academics
The end of the year 2011 is now approaching, which for the network means a new period of elections. We are looking for two new members to join the Coordination Team and help in sustaining and expanding the network further. The year 2011 was very productive for Young Academic Network. Starting from the YA Meeting in Delft, YA also had a successful contribution to World Planning Schools Congress in Perth, where the YA organized the YA Roundtable and the Intercontinental YA Drinks reception. Beside that, this year YA cooperated with organizers of AESOP PhD Workshop in Prague.
This is indeed a great deal of activity, and we have plans to continue to expand in the coming years. CT members are holding responsibilities for different tasks including management of website contents, communication with members, thematic group coordination, event organizations, elections, publications, etc. Furthermore, CT members are expected to meet up sometimes in order to suggest new activities or to redefine the existing ones. We are looking for new people to join our enthusiastic team to ensure the YA network continues to grow and provide new exciting opportunities for all of us.
If you feel that you are one of these people, then now is the time for candidacy for the YA Network elections (deadline 9th of December).
If you feel you would not have the time to be a member of the YA CT, do not forget to express your will through voting in the election. That solely will ensure that the team continues to enjoy the full support of the network.
How do I express my interest in becoming a YA CT Officer?
It is simple! Go to the AESOP Young Academics elections webpage:
www.aesop-youngacademics/ya/elections
and upload your profile on the Candidates Enrolment page.
Please include your interests in the various activities of the YA as well and a description of what you hope to bring to your post, and any suggestions for new and existing YA activities and how you wish to implement them through your participation in the CT. All CT members’ universities should be AESOP member.
That is it! You are now a candidate for the CT. You will be able to upload and edit your profile from 25 November 2011 till midnight of 9 December 2011. Depending on the number of candidates there will:
either be a web-based election from 10 December 2010 till 15 December 2010,
or all candidates automatically will be declared as new CT members
The results of the procedure will be announced to the YA and the ExCo on late December 2011 by AESOP Secretary General.
Membership registration is frozen from 25 November 2010 until the end of the Election period.
The election is supervised by the AESOP Secretary General who is the only person with access to the administration module of the Elections page. Neither existing CT members nor any other YA member has access or can in any way intervene in the election process.
No information is stored on the voting preferences of YA members, which ensures the privacy of member voters. Only information on whether a member has voted is stored in order to avoid double-voting.
