Important Dates and Information for 2024/2025
Dear EIS Member
Please see below for chances to become more involved in the EIS. If we are going to continue building an active, campaigning union, we need members with a range of backgrounds and experience to participate in a range of different ways - please think if the opportunities below would suit you.
If you want to find out more about any of the following before you complete a nomination form, just email the LA office .
EIS NATIONAL COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2024 - 2025
The EIS Council is the principal executive committee of the EIS. It meets around 5 times a year, usually in Edinburgh, and also at the national AGM in June. This year the Edinburgh Local Association is entitled to 10 Council members across the 2 categories of Primary/Nursery and Secondary/Special. The 10 places are divided on a 5:5 basis either way and we are keen to fill all of these. Nominations are now closed for the new session.
EIS NATIONAL AGM 2024
This year's AGM will take place in Dundee from 6 - 8 June 2024. Nomination forms, for members interested in attending the AGM, can be accessed here. Edinburgh can nominate up to 16 delegates this year (this is in addition to those Edinburgh members who are already on national EIS Council and automatically attend).
Both the National Council and the AGM are great ways of finding out about what is happening nationally both in the EIS and in Scottish education. They offer members a real chance to influence policy and make a difference for teachers and pupils. Nominations are now closed for this year's AGM.
LOCAL ASSOCIATION OFFICE BEARERS 2024 - 2025
Nominations are now closed.
LOCAL ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 2024 - 2025
The LA Executive is the main body driving the work of the EIS in Edinburgh. For it to work effectively, we need Executive members who are willing to get involved, campaign over matters of concern, and shape its work. The new LA Executive starts 6th March after the local AGM. There are still spaces on the LA Executive, please email the LA office if interested in joining.
Ways to get involved:
Locally
Nationally
