All Board positions are open to be filled and you have a chance to self-nominate or nominate others; and to vote for people to occupy the positions to be filled. Up to six (6) positions for each Region are open to be filled.

Successful candidates will be informed by 3rd February 2025 and would be invited to attend their first Board meeting in 2025. Please, do contact the SEGH Secretary or the President (argyraki@geol.uoa.gr) if further information is required.

The Board meets face-to-face annually at our conference (when conditions allow), where the AGM is held. Between times, we meet virtually, mostly every quarter. We also encourage the regional representatives to have virtual meetings to promote the interests of their regions. 

The Society has ongoing support for Early Career Researchers through an active mentoring programme. The upgraded website makes it is easier for members to add blogs about interesting projects, hosting of learning material from online events and facilitate registration for online meetings.

Please note that the position of a Board Member is entirely an honorary one and attracts no remuneration. It also requires dedication and commitment to Society activities.
