Become a candidate
As a member of Council or a committee, board or forum, you'll have the chance to be more involved with the 外网天堂 and influence the issues that really matter to members and the wider profession. You'll also expand your own skills, knowledge and experience 鈥� all of which you can use and share in your workplace.
You can serve on:
- Council or a board: you'll be at the top table of the 外网天堂, where you'll make sure the organisation is governed well and accountable to its members
- a representative committee: you'll be the eyes and ears of members, making sure their views are represented at all times
- a forum steering committee: you'll stay at the forefront of UK developments in your nursing specialty
- a branch committee: you'll work closely with members at local level
Election or appointment?
Some roles, including Council members and the President and Deputy President, have to be elected positions by law. Our boards and UK representative committees are also elected roles. Branch committee members are elected annually at the branch general meeting. We run an appointment process for our forum steering committees and for some casual vacancies.
Your commitment
Most roles require you to attend a certain number of meetings per year either in person or remotely, as well as some commitment and time in between meetings.
You can find out more about specific roles by reading the role descriptor. Role descriptors are always made available on the 外网天堂 website when roles are announced. If you have more questions after reading the description of the role, you can email the 外网天堂 Governance Team at elections@rcn.org.uk.
Before you put yourself forward for an 外网天堂 role, you must speak with your manager and seek their support. Our staff will also speak to your manager (or tutor if you’re a student) if it helps.
The 外网天堂 is committed to equal opportunities. If you have special requirements when applying or standing for election please email us at elections@rcn.org.uk so we can support you.
How to run a successful election campaign
To be in with a chance of getting elected, you need the support of 外网天堂 members. This requires a good campaign. Get advice and information on how to campaign effectively and how the 外网天堂 will support you with your campaign.
