It’s that time of year again, where opportunities open for all those who want to become a more active part of IFSA. You can now apply to become an IFSA official for the 2015-2016 period.
Click here to find an overview of the positions for the 2015-16 period. The descriptions have all been recently updated, by the current position holders, to reflect the specifics of the roles and the key requirements. We encourage you to read over the descriptions to consider what may interest you, and how your skills can help assist IFSA over the next 12 months.
If you have any questions about the positions, there’s two different ways to learn more:
- We’ll be hosting a “Learn about officials” Skype day on the 30th of June, 9 pm GMT+7. If you’re a current official wanting to provide advice to others or you’re not an official but want to learn more about them, please email Natalia Cisneros with your Skype username so you can join the conversation.
- If you cannot make it to the Skype day, e-mail the current official with your specific questions. You’ll be able to find a list of all the officials and their emails here.
