British APL Association 1998/1999 Committee

The members of the Committee are unpaid officials of the Association. However, reasonable expenses incurred in the execution of Association business are reimbursed.

One of the key objectives of the Annual General Meeting is to ensure that all posts are filled. The AGM attempts to fill every post for the duration of the forthcoming year. Any official of the Association can be elected to serve for a continuous maximum period of 3 years, although all posts are eligible to be filled by a new appointment.

One of the pressing issues at this AGM is the appointment of an Editor for Vector, the journal of the Association. In addition to control of the editor’s budget, the Editor also has use of a portable PC.

The British APL Association is seen as the foremost international association and its publication Vector is regarded as the premier publication of its kind. Vector is also the only regular publication for APL news.

The Association relies on volunteers for existence and exists purely to promote the overall interests of the APL community. It requires the participation of new members; this not only ensures a fresh, and more effective, approach but also allows the existing volunteers to take a sabbatical.

If you need advance information on Committee roles and responsibilities, please contact any member of the existing committee — contact details are on the inside of the back cover of Vector.

The current committee urges you to attend the AGM and to volunteer to serve on the new committee. Your initiative is critical to the continued success of the British APL Association in serving the APL community.
