FSA AGM 2021: Elections

Nominations are now open for the position of FSA chair as well as on the FSA’s National Council from the associate and individual membership tiers.

Our AGM will be taking place online on Friday 19th November with elections due to take place for a number of representative positions within the organisation.

The National Council comprises elected representatives from our networks and individual members, and has at least three meetings per year. It implements the decisions of the Conference and decides policy and strategy on matters which arise and require decisions between Conferences.

National Council – Associate members

There are two positions available on the FSA’s National Council that are open to all associate members of the FSA. Associate members are usually regional or nondemocratic fan groups, atmosphere collectives, and fanzines.

One position is available for three years (until AGM 2024) and the other is for two years (until AGM 2023).
