WHY JOIN A CHAPTER COMMITTEE?

Joining a Chapter Committee offers a rewarding, engaging volunteer role with professional recognition and opportunities to give back to the Research Management community.

It also offers a meaningful way to:

  • Strengthen your leadership skills as you share experiences, challenges and successes with other Research Management Professionals;
  • Develop networks with other like-minded Research Management Professionals who share your committee to the profession;
  • Foster opportunities to work with other Research Management Professionals and key stakeholders in the sector; and
  • Increases your professional networks and contacts on a local and global scale.

The Chapter Committee provides strategic advice and guidance relating to the future directions of all current Chapters of the Australasian Research Management Society (ARMS).

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?

From time to time, Committees issue an Expressions of Interest (EOIs) to identify individuals for upcoming committee vacancies. If more than one suitable candidate is identified for a position, the successful candidate will be selected by a vote of the region’s voting members. Suitable candidates must demonstrate not only an interest in contributing to the committee, but also the capacity to commit the necessary volunteer hours.

If you are interested in learning more, please contact the ARMS Executive Office, ARMSMembership@researchmanagement.org.au.
