2022 EWA Annual Elections

The EWA Annual Election will be held on Friday 4 November 2022, closing at 11.59pm.

You have just over one week to cast your vote. Voting is NOW OPEN via the MyEA link.

EWA called for nominations for positions on the EWA Board of Directors and Sport committees that were vacant at the end of 2022.

This is the second year that the elections will be held under the new Committee By-Laws and is a great opportunity for individuals to have an opportunity to ‘put back’ into our sport.

Whilst there are only a few positions on the various committees being open to election, all Committees also have some opportunities for appointing committee members, so those who are nominated and may not be successful in the election may be offered an appointed position – again these are not ‘closed shop’ positions – they are genuine positions to ensure there is a good balance of skills and representation on the committees.

Nominations for appointed committee members will be called for following the elections.

We have a strong sport that is once again growing, please consider helping us to make the sport successful into the future.
