Australia Council Officers
The elected officers of the Australia Council are the Chair, Vice-chair, Secretary and Treasurer. Officers are elected for two-year terms. The current term is 2019-2020.
Candidates for the position of Council Chair are limited to Australian IEEE members not belonging to sections from which the incumbent and immediate past Council Chairs have been selected.
The elected officers, together with representatives of the seven Australian sections, make up the Australia Council Executive Committee, otherwise known as the Australia Council.
A copy of the Australia Council bylaws is available here.
By convention, the Australia Council appoints a webmaster and a student activities coordinator annually.
In March 2018 the Australia Council created a new committee position: Standards Coordinator.
