Four new Trustees elected to the PSA Executive Committee
5 June 2017

 

2017 represents somewhat of a new era for the PSA, with our new Chair and Vice-Chair, Professor Angie Wilson and Professor Feargal Cochrane, taking the helm in April.

In May, seven candidates stood for election to the PSA’s Executive Committee of Trustees. The Executive Committee is responsible for setting the overall policy and direction of the Association. Following three weeks of highly energised campaigning, the votes have now been counted and verified by the Returning Officer, Paul Tobin.

We are pleased to announce that the following members will be joining the PSA Executive Committee from 29 June 2017, for a three year term:

Yvonne Galligan (Queen’s University Belfast)

Arianna Giovannini received the most first preference votes in the election, which used a STV (Single Transferable Vote) voting system. 

We are grateful to everyone who ran for election and we would like to also thank every member who took the time to vote.

For the full results of the election please contact [email protected].

Elections to the Executive Committee take place on a rolling basis, and so we welcome members to consider running in the 2018 election next spring.
