The EAIR Executive Committee consists of nine elected members (Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, Secretary and five other elected members), nominated by and elected from the Association's membership for a period of three years.

 

 

Your EAIR relies upon a strong, active and vibrant Executive Committee (EC) to further develop the association.

• Nicoline Frølich, EAIR's Vice-Chair. She will stand for election for another period of three years.

​

Clarification of the responsibility placed on each member of the EC:

1. It is expected that the elected member will actively contribute to achieving the objectives of the society.

2. Specifically, each elected member to the EC will hold a portfolio of tasks in one or more aspects of the EAIR’s activities.

3. It is expected that all EC members, in person, attend both the Annual EC November meeting in the Netherlands and the Annual EAIR Forum (including a pre- and post-Forum EC meeting, both taking place at or near the Forum venue).
