2024 AASM Call for Nominations

The call for nominations for the Management Committee of the Australian Association of Social Marketing (AASM) is now open for 2024.

Nominees must be a member of the Australian Association of Social Marketing.

The AASM Management Committee is responsible for the oversight and administration duties of the Australian Association of Social Marketing. A committee role involves participation in monthly committee meetings, administrative tasks as required, and liaison with (and ex officio membership of) local hub committees. Each committee member is also responsible for a portfolio for the AASM, e.g. Events, Marketing, Publications etc. The AASM Management Committee also oversee the International Social Marketing Conference, engage in advocacy with appropriate stakeholders, and organise other activities designed to promote the profile and influence of social marketing. The AASM seeks a balance on the National Management Committee between social marketing academics and practioners.

There is a maximum of FOUR (4) possible positions on the AASM committee up for election this year. The AASM Management Committee currently consists of eight (8) elected persons, and three (3) appointed persons. Each elected committee member is elected under a three-year term at which point they are required to seek re-election to remain on the committee. In 2024, two (2) of our elected members have completed their three-year term. Current AASM members may nominate for the election in 2024 to these positions on the committee.

The AASM has two (2) vacant positions on the committee in the Academic or Practitioner Category. The first vacant committee position would involve taking on the role of Vice-President – so people with leadership experience are strongly encouraged to nominate for election. The second vacant committee position would involve taking on the role of Hub Coordinator – so people with experience and capacity in events are strongly encouraged to nominate for election.

If we receive more nominations than positions vacant, an election will be held. Otherwise, those that nominate will be declared as elected. Positions on the committee are elected for three years.

As a voluntary association, there are no permanent staff employed by the AASM. Therefore, the committee undertakes much of the work of the association. Before nominating, please consider if you can bring the required time and capacity to the role.

Nominations for positions on the National Management Committee close on 18 November 2024 at 5pm AEDT.

To nominate please complete the nomination form and email to the elections officer:
