A number of our trustees are due to retire soon so EPUK is now inviting applications of interest for this role.
We meet in London four times a year and probably communicate by email up to a few hours a week. EPUK is volunteer-led and unpaid except for essential travelling costs to meetings in London. The Board currently comprises 9 Trustees with a Chairman. As there are pending retirements, the Board is seeking volunteers to apply for election. We are especially interested in people who can offer marketing & financial skills. Someone with a little (not essential) scientific background would find this role extremely fulfilling.
