Members are invited to put themselves forward for election to the OR Society’s General Council and help shape the future direction of the Society.

General Council plays an important role in scrutinising the Society’s activities, advising the Board and management on issues affecting operational research, and helping to ensure agreed plans are put into action. Members also gain valuable experience in governance, strategy and leadership while working with colleagues from across the OR community.

The current vacancies are:

• Two Vice Presidents
• Eight regional vacancies across London and South East, North East, Southern, Western, and Yorkshire and Humberside
• Three national vacancies
• One student vacancy

General Council members usually attend two Council meetings and two subcommittee meetings each year, with an expected commitment of around six to eight days annually.

Full details are available in the formal election notice and accompanying letter from OR Society President Professor Sanja Petrovic. Members who would like to discuss the opportunity can contact Dr Colette Fletcher, Executive Director, using the form on this page.*
