As a SIG Convenor you receive a number of benefits, support from the Â鶹ÒùÔº office and are invited to attend Convenor meetings in London, with all other SIG convenors.
Convenors are vital to the work of Â鶹ÒùÔº, investing energy in the promotion of the SIG and its activities. The main role of the SIG Convenor(s) is to co-ordinate, oversee and develop the mission and activities of the particular SIG.
Convenors should expect to work within all the guidelines and advice provided by the Â鶹ÒùÔº Office. These are in place to ensure good practice and that all legal, financial and insurance matters are taken care of and that any risks to individuals or organisations are minimised. In particular with regard to planning events, activities or any expenditure, SIGs should all follow the appropriate procedures
By agreeing to assume a position of SIG Convenor, individuals are committing to fulfilling all of the responsibilities and obligations that go with that role. SIG Convenors are expected to exercise their own judgment to meet the requirements listed in Â鶹ÒùÔº guidance and to seek further advice from the Â鶹ÒùÔº Office if in any doubt. If any procedures are not followed then the Â鶹ÒùÔº Office reserves the right to take whatever action may be necessary to protect Â鶹ÒùԺ’s legal, financial and reputational position. Such matters will also form part of the review of each SIG that is undertaken by Council.
The annual responsibilities for SIG Convenors can be found in this document.
If multiple expressions of interest are received an election may be run.
You must be a Â鶹ÒùÔº member to apply.
The deadline to apply is the 23rd September 2020.
