A resource person is an EAIE-member that is informally associated with one of the boards. Resource persons are not members of the PS Board by election or co-option.

A resource person will be invited to help the board with the annual work that need to be done with the upcoming EAIE conferences. A resource person can be invited to board meetings. A resource person can be asked to do some work between the meetings and the conferences, but do not have the same obligations as the board members. A resource person can be attached to the board in various ways:

• full time, but with no obligations
• part-time with no or very limited participation at the meetings
• observers at the meetings
• resource persons at home
• one-year or 2 year terms

To become a resource person is a good opportunity to learn to know the EAIE organisation, and to get some good practise and training as a potential new Board member. South Europeans and Central-and-East Europeans are particularly advised to apply as a resource person. If you are interested send a CV via email to the chair of the board.
