Nominations for ESA Council 2004–2006

Nominations are now called for election to membership of the council of the Endocrine Society of Australia for the period 2004–2006.

To be nominated, one must be a financial member of the Society, and be nominated by two financial members of ESA. The primary requirement of a Council member is to be prepared to set aside some some time for the service of the Society and its members.

Nominations for election to the Society must reach the secretary of the ESA, Associate Professor Ross Cuneo, 145 Macquarie Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 by 5:00 pm, Friday May 14th 2004.

Further details regarding the Council of ESA, and procedures for elections to the Council can be found at the ESA website: www.endocrinesociety.org.au/constitution.htm.

Reminder to Pay Your Subs

Welcome Back! Late breaking news item - 64 ESA members are financial again! Don’t you become a “lost” ESA member? Ensure we have all your correct details? ESA Membership Subscriptions due by the end of April 2004 and you should have received your notice, please contact the ESA Secretariat if you haven’t received your dues notice – Please ensure that the Secretariat has all the correct mailing and contact details, particularly e-mail addresses, as we rely on these to maintain contact with you and keep you informed of ESA activities. As I discussed at the last AGM, our auditor has raised the issue of outstanding membership subscriptions being approximately 30%. Therefore, any member with outstanding dues was issued with a reminder notice and I am pleased to announce that this prompted a good response and “recovery” of some lost souls. The reminder process will continue, however, once dues are more than 2 years in arrears, you will be placed in the “deleted” membership database. Regaining membership at a later time would require you to pay all outstanding dues.

Dr Catherine Coulter, ESA Treasurer
