The BLCS is now seeking nominations onto the steering committee. The following BLCS committee positions are now available:

• Treasurer – the elected person will be Treasurer-elect from the date of the election until the Annual Meeting in March/April in 2024, when they will become Treasurer for three years.
• Ordinary Members – those elected will serve for just under three years from the date of the election until the Annual Meeting in March/April 2026.
• Chair-elect – the elected person will be Chair-elect from the date of the election until the Annual Meeting in March/April 2024 when they will take over as Chair for two years, and then be Vice-Chair for a further year.

Both nominees and nominators (proposer & seconder) must be members of the Society and the permission of the nominee must be obtained. Nominations should be made by email. The Nomination form can be found on the last page of this letter which you can download from this link: committee nominations.

The timeline for the election process is as follows:

• 14^th April – Nominations open.
• 12^th May – Nominations close.
• 19^th May – Members will be told of the nominees for each post and online voting begins.
• 9^th June – Voting ends.
• 16^th June – Announcement of successful nominees.

The details of the online voting will be released in due course.

We acknowledge that this election is unusual due to the previous elections during the Covid19 outbreak, which have forced a change in timings, and that the next terms of office will aim to return us to the normal timetable (i.e. election deadline at the Annual meeting each year).
