Dear Members and Supporters of the PRME Chapter UK and Ireland,
Call for Steering Committee Members PRME Chapter UK & Ireland (two positions, three-year term of office).
The Steering Committee of PRME Chapter UK and Ireland seek nominations to fill two vacancies on our Steering Committee. Steering Committee members support the design and delivery of PRME-related activities, supporting our seven Local Networks, our annual competitions, conference and doctoral colloquium, and other global (e.g. i5) and local PRME initiatives. The Chapter is thriving as evidenced in our 10th Anniversary Report and 2024 Annual Conference Report, and an elected Chapter Steering Committee binds this purposeful activity being essential to understanding the needs and harnessing the energies of our wider membership.
Vacancies arise when existing members step down from the Steering Committee and/or reach the end of their first or second term of office. As permitted in our governance rules, members who complete a first term may choose to stand for a second final term in open competition with new nominees. For this call, we are particularly keen to recruit Steering Committee members with expertise in Communications and/or Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. We expect at least one further position to open in 2025, in addition to the role of Chapter Treasurer.
We welcome nominations from across the full spectrum of our membership. Consideration will be given to ensure a diverse representation of Committee members, including the representation of the Chapter’s geographic areas. To find out more or to submit a self-nomination form, please email the Chapter Administrator Jackie Hicken at PRME@bcu.ac.uk by 17.00 GMT on Thursday 31 October.
Professor Natascha Radclyffe-Thomas EdD FRSA
Chair, on behalf of the PRME Chapter UK and Ireland Steering Committee
For full details of the election process, please see the Chapter’s updated Governance document. For those interested in nominating themselves, please note:
1. At the time of nomination, nominees must be employed at institutions that are paid-up Communicating Signatories to PRME at the global level and paid-up UK & Ireland Chapter Voting Members. (If you are unsure about your eligibility, check your School's membership status at a global level here and at UK & Ireland level here).
2. Elections are conducted on the basis of one vote per institution. Votes should be cast by the institution’s nominated representative (typically the PRME Lead), or in their absence, another appropriate member of staff (e.g., the Dean, Deputy Dean, Head of School, Director of Accreditation, etc.) using an institutional email address. Votes will only be accepted if submitted by a recognised and named representative matched to Chapter records.
3. Steering Committee members undertake to abide by the PRME UK & Ireland Steering Committee Code of Conduct and to commit to make a regular time commitment over their term, being accountable for agreed projects.
4. As evidence of expertise and experience, nominees are expected to demonstrate a track record of prior involvement in Chapter working groups, local networks or projects over at least 12 months. Where this is not possible, a significant RME-related track record, at least in part beyond the home institution, should be demonstrated.
