    • Foster a positive workplace culture for AASW staff and help create a positive experience for members
    • Help achieve the objectives specified in the AASW Constitution, Code of Ethics and Strategic Plan
    • Support AASW Branches by regularly attending and actively contributing to BMC meetings and activities
    • Assist in the implementation of strategic initiatives and member activities to promote the AASW
    • Respond to the needs of the AASW’s diverse member community
    • Provide support to Branch activities to reach and engage existing members and attract new members
    • Plan and support AASW Branch operations to ensure relevance
    • Uphold confidentiality of AASW activities and undertakings
    • Ensure compliance with AASW policies and procedures

    Elections for Branch Management Committee positions are held annually online with the process starting in August for a 1 November start.  Notice of elections are issued to AASW Members via AASW Publications.

    If elected to the BMC through this process, you will be required to serve for a 2 year term.

    Occasionally casual vacancies become available and these can be filled between January and June through a nomination process via the local Branch Management Committee.  For more information on this please contact Branch Services via email.
