Nominations closed on 15 March 2004

The Committee is responsible for organising events, administering the LIRG prizes and awards, overseeing the production of the Group's newsletter (LIRN), and pursuing activities which will further LIRG's aims.

It meets three times per year (March, June/July, November/December).

Much of the business is handled between meetings via an electronic mailing list for committee members. We encourage active participation from our members and we welcome nominations each February for the Committee.

The LIRG Committee consists of not more than 13 elected members plus 6 co-opted members.

Nominations need to be signed by the candidate and proposed and seconded by other LIRG members. You must be a personal member of the Group in order to stand for election. Those interested in becoming committee members may wish to discuss what is involved with the Chair or Vice-Chair.

The Group has the following Officers who are elected for a two year term from the Committee:

• Chair
• Vice-Chair
