Election of IALS officers

Dear IALS Members

At the Heidelberg conference three members of the Executive Committee
will be stepping down. These are: John Bray who has been President for
six years; Kim Gutschow who has served as Editor for six years; and
Gareth Wall who has been Treasurer/Membership Secretary for four. We
are grateful to all three of them for their hard work and their many
contributions to the Association.

In accordance with the constitution (see
www.ladakhstudies.org/constitution.html), four of the twelve posts on
the Advisory Committee will likewise come up for election or
re-election at the General Meeting.

We would like to invite all IALS members to nominate colleagues or –
better still – stand for one of these posts themselves.

We are looking for people with skills, experience and enthusiasm. In
practice, the main requirements include commitment to the IALS,
willingness to work as part of a team, and - of course - an e-mail
address.

As explained in the constitution, election is open to people who have
been IALS members for at least two years in the case of the Treasurer
and the Editor, and normally five years in the case of the President.

Please send nominations to me in my capacity as Secretary before 18
March 2013. Each nomination should include the assent of the proposed
candidate. My e-mail address is secretaryials@gmail.com
