>> UPDATE PUBLISHED ON 24 MARCH 2020 
 

1. Candidates and Nominations

The NC did not receive any nominations for the two vacant positions of Honorary Auditor. We are therefore doing an additional call for volunteers to please support the chapter and submit their nominations for this one-year term.

Please utilise the originally prescribed nomination form (download from here) and kindly note that:

  • this additional nomination call is only for Honorary Auditor candidates;
  • the new deadline for said nomination submission is 7pm on Thursday, 26 March 2020 (SGT);
  • instructions are in the file; 
  • since we are re-using the form that was originally prescribed by the Executive Committee, do not be alarmed by the previous deadline listed in the file itself;
  • any successful candidates will be announced on our website. 


What is more, there were no candidates for the Board of Trustees and there are up to four vacant positions. Given the constitution stipulations in reference to those positions, the Chapter will arrange to make another call specifically for Trustee nominations after the AGM 2020.


Candidate profiles for other positions are detailed on Chapter's website ( www.pmi.org.sg ) and names are listed in the 20 March 2020 update above.
