Victorian Branch Executive Committee 2018 Nominations

Would you like the opportunity to help influence the Victorian ICT sector?

Nominations are hereby invited from all eligible ACS Victorian Branch Members for the 2018 ACS Victorian Branch Executive Committee (BEC).

Acting as ‘the voice’ of ACS in Victoria, the role of the BEC is to build external relationships and advocacy for ICT procession across all sectors with a core focus on technology.  BEC representatives provide insights, guidance and input to ACS’s variety of initiatives at a strategic level across business, government and education.

ACS Victoria are now seeking nominations for the following positions:

OFFICE BEARERS:
Vice-Chair – 2 year term
Honorary Branch Secretary – 2 year term
Ordinary Committee Members (three positions) – 2 year term
 

The ACS Victorian BEC historically has had annual elections but moved to two-year terms in 2012 - 2013. The benefit of moving to two-year terms was to enable continuance of expertise and experience rather than having to induct new members each year. Following the November 2014 election, half of the Office Bearer and elected Ordinary Committee members were elected for a two-year period; the remaining members were elected for a one-year term after which (in 2015) all positions are now subject to two-year appointments.

The two-year term for incoming members commences 1 January 2018, ending 31 December 2019.
