Elections
General elections for board positions occur one per year at EdGSA's Annual General Meeting (AGM), which usually takes place on the first night of our Education Graduate Students' Research Symposium. Before or during the AGM, individuals will be nominated for positions on the board. If more than one person expresses interest in a position for which we only have one open slot (e.g., EdGSA President), those in attendance at the AGM will vote between the nominees.
Now more about the 2024 election process here.
If we have open positions following the AGM, we can continue to elect board members throughout the year on a first-come, first-served basis with the oversight of the EdGSA Executive Board.
