2 Director Positions – QEMRF Board

Two current elected QEMRF Directors have indicated their desire to retire from the Board at the earliest convenience – Dr David Spain and Professor Gerry FitzGerald.  We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for committing to remain on the Board through the process of developing and adopting the new Constitution.  The process of recruiting two Casual Directors as per the new Constitution begins. 

Directors for Casual Vacancies are to fill out a nomination form by 6 February for the Queensland Faculty of ACEM to consider appointing.  Interested parties do not have to be a FACEM to be eligible.  It is the Board’s desire that the Elected Directors are representative of the Emergency Medicine Physicians employed in Queensland Public Hospitals (for example, geographical location, size of hospital, gender, ethnicity, age, etc…).

If you are interested in becoming an Elected Director on the QEMRF Board and would like more information on eligibility and the role/responsibility of a Director, please contact either Dr David Rosengren (Chair) on 0417 615 223 or Monique Belousoff (Company Secretary) on (07) 3129 7500, 0419 659 802 or monique.belousoff@qemrf.org.au.
