Colleagues
I write to advise that my term of office as a HEUG Board member (5 years maximum serve) will expire in March 2016. As such, the position of President and Chair of the ANZ HEUG will also become vacant at that time. Therefore a call for nominations for the position of President and Chair, ANZ HEUG will soon be forthcoming from Dr Maddy McMaster, Secretary of the ANZ HEUG, and the outcome will be announced at the Executive Forum and ADU15 conference in 4 - 6 November 2015.
The ANZ HEUG President and Chair position is for a two year term. If you are passionate about the role of technology in Higher Education and are able to commit the time required, I encourage you to apply.
The role offers the opportunity to engage with Oracle and senior staff from Universities at a national and global level. This allows you to directly represent and assert influence on behalf of ANZ members.
As ANZ Chair and President, you are entitled to a seat on the Board of the HEUG based in the US which I have found to be personally and professionally rewarding.
If you nominate and are successful you will need to be able to commit to the following:
* Three 'in person' HEUG Board meetings in the US each year (one at the Alliance conference)
* Monthly teleconference Board meetings (usually 6am AEST)
* Monthly teleconference calls as a Board sponsor to one of the Product Advisory Groups (PAGs) (also 6am AEST)
* Quarterly teleconference calls with the ANZ HEUG Executive team
* As Conference Chair, attendance at the Alliance Down Under conference planning meeting (usually 1 or 2 days early in the year)
* Numerous (6 to 10) Alliance Down Under conference planning tele-conferences (usually 9am AEST)
* Organisation and chairing of the ANZ HEUG Executive Forum at the Alliance Down Under conference plus the mini conference which is typically held in the first half of the year
* Attendance at the Asia Pacific Oracle User Community meeting
I will now hand over to Maddy to call for nominations and to run the election process.
Thank you for your support over the past 5 years and I look forward to seeing you all in November.
regards
Gail White
President and Chair, ANZ HEUG
