Circular 10/2016
11 May
2016
To: GWI Members
From: GWI Board of Officers
Subject: Candidates for Board and Committees for the next
triennium
Dear All,
The nominations process has been finalised
and below are the nominations for the GWI Board and different GWI committees for
the 2016-2019 triennium.
You will notice that there are some
positions missing in the list below. The Board and committees represent the
activities of GWI and the involvement of members. The lack of nominations is of
some concern: there were not enough nominations in 2013 and this is once again
the case.
The Nominations Committee has worked hard on
the Board nominations, and we thank them for their persistence and diligence in
this task. Independent members were given the opportunity to nominate
candidates.
We urge NFAs to consider that GWI is their
organisation and requires the involvement and active participation of members in
governance.
There are both Board and Committee positions
vacant. We urge you all to consider what is needed for GWI for the next
triennium, so that the new Board and Committees are able to reach out and find
suitable candidates to fill the vacancies.
