The WINIR Council comprises a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, a Publicity Officer, and four other elected members, elected at least once in each four consecutive calendar years by recorded ballot of the entire membership.
Governance
As specified in the WINIR Constitution, the WINIR Council is responsible for: the general welfare of the network; its finances; the processing of membership applications; the maintenance of the membership lists; and the production and auditing of accounts. The Council reports to the membership. Membership meetings are generally held during the annual conference.
In December 2021, Geoff Hodgson, WINIR’s Founding Secretary, stepped down for health reasons. The Council unanimously approved David Gindis‘s interim appointment as WINIR Secretary, a role which he will combine with his Publicity Officer duties until the next Council election, due to be held in early 2024.
