Dear Member,

Online Nomination for:

• the National Councillor (Chapter-Elected) who becomes your Chapter President, and
• Two Nationally-Elected National Councillors who represent, and who are elected by, the whole of the voting membership.

is now open through the Australian Institute of Architects’ Online Nomination service.

For the Chapter President, eligible nominees must be registered architects and both they and the eligible nominators must be living in this Chapter.

Eligible nominators and voters are Level 1 Members, Fellows, Life Fellows, Level 1 Affiliates and Graduates. Current Chapter Presidents and Nationally-Elected Councillors wishing to be re-elected must be re-nominated.

We strongly recommend that nominations are made at least 72 hours before the closing time of 4pm AEDT on Thursday 21 January 2016. For the nomination to be valid, the process of cross checking, acceptance of nomination, posting of candidate’s platform statements and gathering verified eligible member supporters must be complete before the closing time. The closing time will be strictly adhered to.

This system complies with the Institute’s Regulations for elections. Copies of relevant Institute Regulations which set out rules are contained in the attached PDF files on the online nomination and voting website.
