These two seats will be contested in open elections by the members of the Academy and the results announced at the Annual General Meeting, to be held on 14th November during the Annual Conference which is being held from 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm within the Main Auditorium Hall 1A, Arena & Convention Centre (ACC), Kings Dock, Liverpool, L3 4FP.
The British Academy of Audiology Board of Directors meets four or five times a year. Most Board members have a sub-team for which they report back to Board. Each Board member is elected to serve for a period of one term (i.e. three years) at the end of which they may stand down or be eligible for re-election for a further term. Each Board member can serve for a maximum of two consecutive terms (i.e. six years). Current Board members standing down after their first term will be eligible for re-election to a second term.
Membership of the Board gives an opportunity to work at a strategic level towards advancing the profile of Audiology Professionals within the United Kingdom. We want people that are passionate, dedicated and ready to take the next step forward, no matter where you are in your career or your area of practice. It is also worth noting that future vice-presidents and presidents are elected from within the board.
