Executive committee
From PHP London wiki
Contents |
[edit] Executive positions
These roles were elected at the June 4th 2009 meeting. The definitions below are from our constitution which forms the Articles of Association for PHP London Ltd.
All of the executive are expected to attend our quarterly evening executive committee meetings which are on the third Tuesdays of February, May, August, and November, and there will also be an additional meeting on the third Tuesday of June to help with any transition of members, due to 2009's June re-election.
PHP London is a company limited by guarantee and executive members are expected to be eligible and willing to be registered in the UK as Company Directors or the Company Secretary. This set-up limits the liability of any individual committee member to £1.
There is no obligation to assist organising the PHP UK Conference although in practice the committee usually takes on or at least helps with this role.
