*Helpers
A helper is an EAIE-member that is informally associated with one of the Professional Section boards. Helpers are not official members of the PS Board by election or co-option, but they help as ‘normal’ board members with the annual work that need to be done with the upcoming EAIE conferences and attend board meetings.
To become a helper is a good opportunity to learn to know the EAIE organisation, and to acquire some good practice and training as a potential new Board member. South Europeans and Central-and-East Europeans are particularly advised to apply as a helper. If you are interested please
contact the chair of the board.
