Steering Committee Elections
Our call for nominations to join the Steering Committee of the Women’s Classical Committee UK is now open.
The Steering Committee runs the WCC UK, including organizing events, workshops, and future development of the WCC UK. Committee members serve for four years, with the option to renew for a further four-year term. The Steering Committee wishes to encourage a diverse organization comprised of representatives from any background, location, or career level.
If you’d like to shape our agenda, or if you have a perspective that ought to be heard, please do put your name forward. You are also welcome to nominate someone else.
People of any gender expression or identity who support the WCC UK’s aims are welcome to become members and to put themselves forward for office; our aims can be found by clicking here.
Nominees must be members of the WCC UK – but you can become a member when you’re elected, if you’re not a member already.
If you’re interested, you should submit your name (or somebody else’s) to Katherine McDonald, WCC Co-Chair, by Monday 9th March 2026. Her e-mail address is katherine.mcdonald@durham.ac.uk.
Next steps
Each nominee will be asked to send in a short statement (around 150 words) detailing why they would like to join the committee.
These statements will be made available on the WCC UK website for members to review prior to voting. If you’re nominated by somebody else, the Co-Chair will contact you for permission to place your candidacy on the ticket.
Voting will open on Monday 16th March and run until Monday 20th April 2026. The elected members will be announced at the AGM on Wednesday 22nd April 2026.
