Nominations

Being a committee member can be highly rewarding. If you would like to be part of a team and make a contribution to both the smooth operation of Salford u3a and also to its progression, we would be delighted to hear from you. In the first instance, please see the current list of vacancies below. Then contact either the Chair or The Secretary for more information and to discuss whether you are looking to bring a particular skillset with you or are perhaps wishing to develop your skills in certain areas.

If you then wish to proceed further, download the Nomination Form. After completing the form, please forward it to The Secretary.

Please be aware that you must:

• Be a fully paid-up member of Salford u3a
• Apply for a specific role (or roles)
• Have your nomination form signed by a proposer and seconder, both of whom must be fully paid-up members of Salford u3a
• Submit your nomination at least 14 days ahead of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) if you are seeking to be elected from the date of the AGM

It is often the case that committee members come to the end of their tenure at an AGM (usually held in February) but vacancies can also arise at other times of the year. If an appropriate vacancy does not currently exist, we would still like to hear from you so that we can consider you in the future. There may also be an option to be co-opted to the committee in order to shadow an existing member who is due to stand down at a later date.
