The AIB Oceania Chapter is inviting nominations for election to the Executive Board of AIB Oceania for two Early Career/PhD candidates for a limited term from July 2022 to December 2023.

Please email the completed nomination form to the Secretary-Treasurer and short CV or bio of the candidate to Virginia Cathro (v.cathro@otago.ac.nz) no later than 5pm (AEST) on Friday 1 July 2022.
