Dear John,

Nominations for our ERS Council have just opened, and we're looking for passionate reformers prepared to share their time, energy and ideas to stand.

The ERS Council is the driving force behind our Society. It is governing body of the Society, with ultimate responsibility for its governance and administration. Council members set our strategy and take an active part in shaping the direction of our campaigns. 

Members of the Society can both stand and vote in our Council elections. With nominations now open, this is an exciting opportunity to help shape the Society's agenda. Could you inject energy and enthusiasm into the job of building a better democracy?

Standing for Council

Once you've become a member, you will be able to nominate yourself to stand for Council, and vote later in the year. The close of nominations is 23.59 on Wednesday 21 August. Everything you need to know about how to stand can be found online. 

If you have any questions about standing for Council, please feel free to reply to this email.
