The College
Annual elections — THE OTHER HONORARY
OFFICERS
Notice to Members, Fellows and Specialist Associates
Members, Fellows and Specialist Associates of the College are reminded of their rights
in connection with the forthcoming elections for the offices of Dean, Registrar and
Treasurer. All Honorary Officers, with the exception of the Dean and Treasurer, are
eligible for re-election. Dr. Wendy Burn, Dean, and Professor Nick Craddock,
Treasurer, are in their fifth year of office and are, therefore, not eligible for reelection. Nomination forms are available from Sue Duncan (sduncan@rcpsych.ac.uk)
The nominating meeting of the Council will be held on 15th January, 2016 and the last
date for receiving nominations under Regulation XII below will therefore be 12th
February, 2016.
Bye-Laws Section XII. The Other Honorary Officers
1.
The Council shall, in accordance with the Regulations, make its nominations for
the offices of Dean, Registrar, and Treasurer, at the first meeting after the name of
the President for the next ensuing College year has become known. Written
nominations for these Honorary Offices, accompanied in each case by the nominee’s
written consent to stand for election, may also be lodged with the Registrar at such
time as may be prescribed by the Regulations, provided that each such nomination is
supported in writing by not fewer than twelve Members or Specialist Associates (taken
together) who must not be members of the Council.
2.
The Dean, Registrar and Treasurer shall be elected by the Members of the
College and Specialist Associates, in each case in accordance with the procedure
prescribed by the Regulations.
Regulations Section XII. The other Honorary Officers
1.
A person cannot be elected as the Dean, Registrar or Treasurer unless he or she
is a Member of the College or a Specialist Associate. The method of electing the Dean,
Registrar and Treasurer shall be the same as that for electing the President (including
an eliminating vote by the Council so as to reduce the number of nominees of the
Council for each such Office to not more than three), save that the written
nominations from Members of the College or Specialist Associates (who are not
members of the Council) for nominees (in addition to the nominees of the Council)
shall be lodged with the Registrar between the first day of June in any calendar year
and the date which is four clear weeks after that meeting of the Council which is the
first held after the name of the President for the next ensuing College year has
become known. In addition to participating in any nomination of the Council, a
Member of the College or Specialist Associate may not support more than one
nomination for each such Office.
