In accordance with Section 6 of its Constitution, an election is to be held for the Board of Directors of the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia Victoria Division, for the term 2012 – 2015.

Eight members of the current Board of Directors are to retire at the IPWEA (victoria division) 2012 Annual General Meeting, but they are eligible to stand for re-election for an ensuing term.

To accommodate a transition to a rotating three year term for all Directors, four Directors are required to serve a three year term and four Directors are required to serve a one year term. Once elected to the Board the new Board member will be given a preference to serve a one or three year term and in the event of an imbalance a ballot will be held within the Board, conducted by the Chief Executive Officer, to determine which four Directors will serve for a one year term and which four Directors will serve for a three year term.

All financial members1 of the IPWEA (victoria division) are eligible to stand for election.

Nominations are called for the position of Director on the IPWEA(victoria division) Board.   Eight positions are available.
