Dear IVAO friends,

The Board of Governors would like to announce that there is 2 positions vacant for the Executive Council (IVAO-EXEC).

Therefore, the submission period of candidatures for these positions is opened.

As stated in the IVAO Rules & Regulations, the candidate must fulfill the following basic requirements:
Be, before the end of the submission of candidatures period, at least 21 years old (an ID prove could be requested)
Be a member of IVAO for at least 6 months before the end of the submission of candidatures period.
In addition, more thorough previous experience as staff, be at Divisional or Senior level, would be an asset.
Candidates must be agreed to sign a NDA ( can be requested ).

The Executive Council is looking for dynamic, enterprizing and active IVAO users for these positions with a very high level of responsibility and commitment.

Note: The present Council has developed a specific way of working in the sense of communicating and decision making on those issues that are at stake. These can be many, whereby there has to be a constant awareness of the importance and possible consequences of its decisions. There are particular cases were it is not always that easy to not only reach a consensus, but more important, the proper understanding and acceptance by the parties concerned. Therefore, it is obvious to mention that these positions require a high demand of the needed skills and attitude. A more extensive interview may therefore be part of the application procedure.

On behalf of the Board of Governors.
