We are delighted to announce after an open call to the membership that our current Publications Chair, Dr Ros McLellan, and Engagement Chair, Professor Gerry Czerniawski, have been re-elected unopposed for second terms in office, securing their roles for an additional four years.
During Ros’s current term as Publications Chair, our publications portfolio had flourished, showcasing cutting-edge research of a high academic standard, increased journal impact factors, growth of Âé¶¹ÒùÔº Blog readership, and the upcoming launch of an exciting book series with Emerald Publishing. Given the fast-changing publishing environment, in terms of open access and beyond, we are pleased that Ros will continue with her strong leadership and insight to help future-proof our portfolio into the next decade.Â
Simultaneously, Gerry has played a pivotal role in the development of the member offering, expanding the suite of awards and fellowships we offer, ensuring high-quality applications, and reviewing the health of Âé¶¹ÒùԺ’s Special Interest Groups.
We look forward to continuing to work with them both throughout the remainder of their first term, and into their second terms. Â
We currently have opportunities for members to join our Council, this is open until 19 February and can be found here.
