Enquiries to: Caroline Davies caroline.davies@amnt.org.uk                                                                                    

Prior to the Annual General Meeting, there will be three vacancies for members of the Management Committee.  An electronic ballot to fill them will be held in the course of the two weeks beginning on Friday 9^th February and ending on Monday 26^th February; it is anticipated that the result will be announced at the AGM and published on the AMNT website that day.  The three candidates with the greatest number of votes will be entitled to serve for three years (or until earlier cessation of AMNT membership); but if in order to identify those three candidates, it is necessary to decide between two or more candidates with the same number of votes, any such decision shall be taken by lot.  Caroline Davies, as Administrator, will act as returning officer.

Nominations to fill those vacancies are invited from Full Members of AMNT.  A Full Member may nominate her/himself or another Full Member.  To be valid, a nomination must be received by the Administrator by e‑mail at AMNT Support (caroline.davies@amnt.org) not later than 4pm on Thursday 8^th February 2018; and the Administrator must also have received at that address, on or before that date, the agreement of the nominee (where a different person from the nominator).

A candidate may submit, for circulation to Full Members with the ballot, a statement of not more than 100 words in support of her/his candidature; only text will be circulated (i.e., no graphics) and material may be withheld if the Administrator is advised that its publication would expose AMNT to legal liability.

The Management Committee which emerges from the election is required by the AMNT constitution to appoint, at its first meeting following the AGM, a Chair or Co-chairs and a Treasurer for the period up to the first meeting following the next AGM.  The Management Committee will then have power under the constitution to co‑opt additional Full Members to serve until the next AGM, and to establish, and appoint to, further posts and sub‑committees.
