Episode 13: The SoLAR Executive Committee

About this episode

The episode discusses the experiences of four members of SoLAR's Executive Committee.

This episode is all about SoLAR's Executive Committee (or "exec" for short). Four current members of the executive board Yi-Shan Tsai, Rogers Kaliisa, Nia Dowell, and Roger Azevedo talk about their experience of serving on the Executive Committee. Are you also interested in joing SoLAR's Executive? The call for nomination opens every November as executive members serve two-year terms, staggered every two years. So half the board is vacated and up for election biennially. There are usually 12 members on the board: five office bearers and seven members at-large. Who do you think told the lie in the 'three truths and a lie' game? Yi-Shan, Rogers, Nia or Roger? Let us know on twitter using the hashtag #SoLARspotlight.
