It’s that time of year again where we send out the Call for Expressions of Interest & Nominations for our Council positions. The MGS Council is made up of the MGS Executive and the Chairs of the Standing Committees and ad-hoc Committees.
To understand these positions better, you can view our Brief Position Description document below. If you have been thinking about getting involved, and aren’t sure, the Members-at-Large position is a great way to be part of the Executive without holding a specific position. You will learn about what we do and how things work, and it may inspire you to choose a specific portfolio next year.
