Board

The Board members listed below were elected by the vote of those EATAW members present at the 2021 conference in Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic. The Board are responsible for:

• Ensuring the successful occurrence of the EATAW conference
• Providing support to the host institution selected
• Discussing issues related to academic writing that may arise or be presented by members
• Communicating with the organisers of EATAW-endorsed publications or research ventures
• Reviewing and proposing amendments to the constitution
• Liaising with other organisations concerned with writing issues

Elections to the EATAW Board are held biennially at the EATAW Conference. The next elections will be held on our next conference 2021.

Nominations for election will be accepted up to four weeks in advance of the date of the elections. Candidates standing for election must have a demonstrated interest and experience in the teaching of academic writing, must have been associated with EATAW for two years, and must have attended at least one earlier EATAW conference. Members of EATAW working in countries outside Europe may stand for election. Under extreme or extenuating circumstances candidates can stand for the board in absentia. This would involve explaining in the presentation to the membership why the candidate is unable to attend the conference. Candidates standing in absentia must be able to attend the post-conference board meeting via online media.
