How to Join the Committee
Step 1
Read the Over View of your Role to understand your commitment.
Most roles do not require a lot of time and you have the support of the paid staff!
Have questions? Ask the president
Step 2
Complete your nomination for the role you wish to apply for.
Most roles receive one nomination only, so you are usually accepted into the position!
Step 3
Attend the AGM. The date is announced in OWNA.
Its okay if you cannot, but it is good to come along and meet the previous committee member, so you can arrange a handover of information.
Only if there are multiple people wanting the same role, does the position go to a vote at the AGM
All committee members are formally sworn in at the AGM. So, this is your start date!
