RSGB Convention Chair vacancy

We have been developing the RSGB Convention over recent years to suit the changing needs of the amateur radio community. From a face-to-face meeting it evolved into an online event when we weren’t allowed to meet, then changed again into a hybrid event, bringing together the best of both for people in this country and across the world. We’ve also been developing the programme to include practical workshops and forums to support radio amateurs who would like a safe and accessible environment in which to try to develop their practical skills.

The RSGB General Manager has been doing the role of Convention Chair for the last three years but has now stepped back from that additional voluntary role, so the RSGB is looking for a new Convention Chair.

This role needs someone who understands the advantages of both online and in-person events and who can contribute to shaping the RSGB Conventions of the future to suit the changing amateur radio audience.

We’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic, proactive, collaborative and good at working with others in a strong team. They will also need an awareness of all aspects of amateur radio, including the latest developments and what might be on the horizon, so they can contribute ideas for speakers and practical activities that will attract a range of radio amateurs.

Experience of event organisation would be useful, but the organising team includes members with significant experience in this area.

If you believe you could contribute to the development of this prestigious annual event, we would like to hear from you.

If you’re interested in the role or would like to find out more, please contact the RSGB General Manager Steve Thomas, M1ACB via gm.dept@rsgb.org.uk
