Council members are not paid. However, reasonable expenses incurred in attending AGI Council meetings can be refunded.
Council members are elected for three years, at the end of which they may seek re-election for one further three-year period.
Who are we looking for?
The most important qualities we’re looking for are enthusiasm and commitment! If you want to really make a difference to the GI, then we’d like to hear from you. No other qualifications or previous experience is necessary.
However, to maintain a balanced and functional Council, we are always keen to hear from people with experience in finance, contract management, marketing, events promotion and motivating volunteers.
Please bear in mind the following:
It takes somewhere around 2 to 3 days each month for a Council Member to fulfil the role (carrying out tasks such as meeting sponsors, writing PR material, organising events etc.), so it’s important that you and your employer understand the scope of what’s involved.
Before submitting a nomination form, we recommend that you review the annual accounts, recent council minutes, the Council Handbook and the Director’s liability and insurance cover to understand the scope of our organisation in more depth.
