Scroll down the page to see the latest opportunities, and please share them widely. The Nominations Committee uses this private form to accept names and details. It covers all open opportunities, including GC45 Commissioners. The form is housed on a separate website and a new tab will open. The form can stay open as long as you like, but you cannot save the form and come back to it. So please have information ready: for example, the position or responsibility you’re interested in, information about yourself, and, if possible, the names of one or two people you have discerned with as you consider your call.
