As we were unable to fill the position of Technical Officer on the NaSTA Executive, nominations have been reopened from today (Monday 16th) until Thursday 20th at midday. Potential candidates can submit a manifesto and video to james.goldburn@nasta.tv where it will be published on the NaSTA website as well a printed copies past round those attending hustings on Friday. Campaigning period will be during the annual conference and Hustings on Friday.

The responsibilites of the Technical Officer have been outlined at the bottom of this post.

We have opted for this course of action as it is felt best we get any potential candidates in the main stream campaigning as quickly as possible.

For those stations not in attendance to the Conference in Nottingham this weekend who still wish to vote, you may email your proxy station to james.goldburn@nasta.tv who will vote on your behalf. Any questions please don’t hesitate to contact.
