November 2002ELECTIONS TO ACM COUNCIL AGM 2003 – AGM 2006Members should be in receipt of a letter from Peter Pendle requesting nominations for representatives to join ACM Council with effect from AGM 2003 (to be held on 18th March 2003) for a three year term*. A copy of the election timetable is outlined below. Council meets three times per year from Friday lunchtime through to Saturday lunchtime in locations throughout the UK. Members of Council may wish to be nominated to sit on national working groups or Association Committees but this is optional and is not a requirement of being a member of Council. We very much look forward to welcoming new members onto Council and hope to receive your completed nomination forms by 5.00 pm on 11th December 2002. The Association’s Council is keen to be as representative of its membership as possible and request that you help us to achieve this by completing the nomination form and returning it to us. If you have any queries regarding ACM Council or have any problems completing your nomination form, please contact either Peter Pendle or Sara McCaffrey on 0116 275 5076 or by email at saramccaffrey@acm.uk.com. * please refer to transitional arrangements as outlined in Peter Pendle’s letter dated 8th November 2002.
