SITUATIONS 
VACANT 
Sales Development Officer 
At present OSME sales consist primarily of journals and reports plus a 
small range of membership items. Whilst providing a valuable service to 
members, Council recognises that there is potential to develop a wider 
range of items both to benefit members and promote the Society. This new 
post is aimed at achieving this expansion. As with all publicity and promo- 
tional activity, this post requires someone with flair and initiative. 
Secretary 
Due to a job opportunity overseas, the current Secretary is having to resign 
from Council in July, therefore OSME is seeking a replacement for this key 
position. The Secretary is responsible for arranging and taking minutes at 
Council meetings, arranging the Summer meeting and much of the general 
day to day running of the Society. The post requires someone with good 
administrative and organisational skills who is a good communicator. 
All these posts will run for 5 years, and the ability regular- 
ly to attend Council meetings will be desirable - Council 
meets 4-5 times per year, currently on a weekday evening, 
in London. However, whilst the majority of Council is 
presently based in south and east England, over the com- 
ing months, as OSME develops, it is envisaged that more 
opportunities for members to become involved in the 
operation of the Society will arise and a more flexible 
approach to running the Society will be adopted. OSME 
remains a volunteer-run organisation and relies on the 
commitment and involvement of its members to function. 
If you would like to see a more active, dynamic, progres- 
sive society, this is your opportunity to make things hap- 
pen! If any of these posts appeals to you or you feel you 
have another special skill to bring to OSME, then contact 
the Chairman, Geoff Welch (tel (0)1728 648298, fax (0)1728 
648529 or write c/o OSME).
