Following discussions across 2023 and 2024, the WFAE Executive is proposing a governance restructure of the organisation.
This restructure is motivated by a desire to increase inclusion and diversity in the WFAE's oversight and operations, as well as resolve issues around decision making quora as the organisation continues to grow.
Key changes include the election of Board members sourced from the general membership, a new Advisory committee (comprised of WFAE Affiliate Representatives and previous WFAE Executive members) and several new Action Committees (following from recommendations of the recent Acoustic Ecology Global Survey.
Additionally, the category of Associate Membership would be dissolved, with an alternate membership model of Affiliate Member, Individual Member and Subscribers proposed.
The WFAE Executive seeks feedback from the WFAE community around these proposed changes.
Feedback is due by Friday 20 December 2024.
More information on the proposed changes and a feedback form can be found below:
