Council

AURA is managed by volunteers who make up its Council.  They set AURA’s strategic direction and policy.  Volunteers come from any of AURA’s member organisations.  People volunteering for Council can be appointed at any time of the year, and they then stand for election at our next Annual General Meeting, held in November.  The Council is lead by a Chair, who is supported by one Vice Chair (usually a previous Chairperson), and one Deputy Chair who usually will become Chair in the future. 

Most Council members look after an area, e.g. marketing, newsletter etc.  Bigger areas have 2 or more people sharing the responsibility.  However any level of involvement is appreciated  – some Council members currently purely contribute input, comments and ideas by email.

Chairs of Special Interest Groups

GIMRA: Kerry Costello
International: tbc

The Council meets 5-6 times per year.  AURA’s Administrator/Treasurer and Events Co-ordinator who look after day-to-day matters and events also attend.  For upcoming Council meeting dates, see here.

We are always keen to have new Council members to keep us fresh.  If you are interested in joining AURA’s Council, please contact the current Chair - or any other Council member if you just want to hear more about it.
