Call for nominations for ACTS Executive Board

Rhiannon — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:18:38 +0000

ACTS is undertaking a substantial amount of change in order to become the peak organisation for tertiary education with regards to sustainability. We have gained a lot of momentum in the last few months and will continue to do so over the coming year or so. This is a very exciting time for ACTS and those involved with the association, to take the tertiary education sector forward in a new, and much warranted, direction. Hence ACTS is please to announce a call for nominations to fill a number of roles on the Executive Board, as well as in the newly developed Regional Director positions.
