Dear colleague
I am writing to call for nominations for the Chair of the ANZ Higher
Education User Group (HEUG) for a two-year term from 1 November 2016 to 31
October 2018. I attach a nomination form you can use for this purpose,
along with a copy of our Charter.
The closing date for nominations will be close-of-business on *Friday 4
November 2016*.
You may recall Mark Erickson, University of Queensland, was elected to this
position last year, however, this was to see out the last year of Gail
Knight's final term as Chair and President, having served 5 years. A
nomination and election process is therefore required this year according
to the Charter.
It is Mark's intention to renominates for the position.
ELECTION PROCESS
If I receive more than one nomination for the position I will hold a
ballot. I will then invite nominees to provide a written statement (if this
has not already been provided) to explain what they could offer to the ANZ
HEUG and will circulate these to all members. Voting will then open for two
weeks using a confidential online poll. Each member institution will have
two votes through members of the Executive Forum.
ABOUT THE ROLE OF CHAIR:
*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' 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 Advisory Groups (AGs) (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 usually held in the
first half of the year * Attendance at the Asia Pacific Oracle User
Community meeting*
More information is available in the attached charter.
