Joining the Committee

DAMA Australia is managed by a committee composed of volunteers. All committee members are office holders – everyone has a job. The committee members are elected for a 12-month period at the Annual General Meeting. Committee members must be financial DAMA members, i.e. they have either a paid up Individual membership or their employer is a paid up Corporate member.

Committee members are expected to contribute, on average, 4-6 hours per month to DAMA matters. If you are unable to make that level of time commitment please do not nominate for the committee. The committee typically meets on a monthly basis to review past events, plan future events and address a variety of matters.
