As a legally registered organisation we now need to appoint a board of directors, mandated by our own members. We encourage and hope for wide participation among our members. If you are not a member yet, you can join through the Membership section on our website. We also invite you to put your name forward as a future board member if you are up for the following set of tasks.
The main responsibilities of ESMA Board of Directors are:
- support the growth of ESMA as a globally recognized professional organisation for European Social marketing
- increase awareness of Social Marketing methods, research, practice and evidence among academics, practitioners, and policy makers
- enhance knowledge sharing among members
- seek affiliation with appropriate partner organisations
- secure funding and financial integrity of the organisation
- organise a biennial European Social Marketing conference
The ESMA Board of Directors will comprise six members. It is up to the board members to divide roles and responsibilities amongst themselves to meet the requirements set out above.
