The ANSA Executive is responsible for overseeing ANSA’s activities and funding. We organise workshops and activities, including events at the annual AAS conference, and act as liaisons between local universities and the AAS.
The chairperson acts as a postgraduate representative in the AAS Executive committee (in a non-voting capacity) and reports on ANSA plans, vision, and activities during their quarterly meetings. They also oversee incoming emails and administer grants and scholarships. The chairperson is the main liaison with conference organisers as well.
The secretary liaisons with the ANSA Committee, made up of the local university representatives, oversees membership administration, and organises monthly meetings, distributing agendas and taking minutes. The secretary also supports the chairperson with the administration of grants and general communication.
The Web Officer is responsible for everything related to ANSA advertising and social media. They manage the website, organise the visual anthropology competition, and send out our monthly newsletter.
We aim to distribute the workload evenly amongst the executive. We generally spend a few hours a week on our ANSA tasks, running our monthly (open) executive meetings where we discuss and plan events, and we make sure that no email in the ANSA mailbox remains unanswered.
The Australian Anthropological Society (AAS) sponsors ANSA’s activities, and as a sign of gratitude to the ANSA Executive covers their AAS Membership. The AAS has also financially contributed towards conference attendance for ANSA Executive members in recent years.
