The 2024 nominations to stand for the SoA’s board of directors are open from 3 June to 15 July.
With four seats available, this is your opportunity to influence the strategic direction of the Society of Authors (SoA) over the next few years.
We invite all Full Members of the SoA to stand – or to encourage fellow members to step forward – for election to the SoA board of directors. Nominations can be submitted using the form linked below until 15 July 2024.
If we receive more than four nominations, elections will open in mid-September and close at midday on 23 October 2024.
New directors will take their seats at the 2024 AGM on 21 November.
The elected members of the Management Committee are the legal directors of the Society of Authors. You can learn more about your responsibilities as a director on the Companies House website and about your corporate obligations on this page of guidance.
We have received more nominations than the four places available and so there will be an election.
Voting will then open in September (members will receive their ballot papers with the Autumn issue of The Author) and will close at noon on Wednesday 25 October 2023.
Newly-elected Management Committee members will take their seats at the 2023 AGM on Thursday 16 November.
