Call for Office-holders and other Executive Committee Positions

In accordance with the Rules of the Global Product Stewardship Council, nominations for office-holders and other Executive Committee positions are now open. Only paid-up full Council members may nominate a candidate, or be nominated as a candidate.

The term of office of all currently elected Council officers and Executive Committee members will expire at the conclusion of the AGM.  Nominations are called for the following positions (current office-holders are listed), to be in effect for one year:

The Executive Committee currently comprises the office-holders plus Michelle Carvell, Rodrigo Leiva Neumann, Kylie Hughes, Joachim Quoden and Ed Cordner.
