Nominations to IMarEST Council for 2025
Nominations for Honorary Treasurer and Elected Members of Council to take office at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) in March 2025 are now open.
Associate Members, Members and Fellows located in EMEA, Asia Pacific and ANZSPAC Electoral Divisions are invited to seek nomination as Elected Members of Council. Active seafarers and early career professionals are currently underrepresented on Council, so we encourage nominations from these groups.
Please note that submissions are due no later than 17:00 GMT on Friday 1 November 2024.
It is anticipated that there will likely be at least one Elected Member vacancy in each Electoral Division, except Americas, but the exact breakdown is still to be confirmed. Nomination forms are available from the Governance Team, to which any questions should also be directed.
