Vacant Position on 2008/9 ALSA Committee
Saturday, 19 July 2008
Dear Students
For those of you who do not know me, I am Verity from UQ, President Elect of ALSA for 2008/9.
As you may be aware, the position of IT Officer on the 2008/9 ALSA Committee is vacant. The new Executive is keen to fill this position as soon as possible so that the new IT Officer may take office with the rest of the new Executive and Committee on 1 August 2008.
You will find a description of the position in the attached document. It is important that applicants know that while their registration for Council and Conference will be covered, at this stage they will need to cover their own travel expenses.
Interested applicants should email a brief letter outlining their interest and relevant skills along with their CV to me (at
) no later than 4:00pm on 25 July 2008. The applications will be considered by the 2008/9 Executive, we will conduct interviews and will then recommend an applicant to the 2007/8 Executive for appointment (as we do not officially take office until 1 August).
