Announcement: English Australia
Board Director Appointments
Every year half of the General Appointee Directors to the Board of Directors of English Australia and half of the State/Territory Delegate Directors stand down and a call goes out for nominations to fill the vacancies this will create. This ensures all members have the opportunity to nominate to serve on the Board each year.
Those appointed to fill the vacancies start their term immediately after the AGM concludes.
The English Australia Directors and Secretariat are very happy to extend our congratulations to the four nominees who will commence as General Appointees to the English Australia Board immediately following the AGM on 28th October 2025.
