Governance and TAS Branch Council Members
The Economic Society of Australia (Tasmania Branch) Inc. (ESA-TAS) is one of seven state/territory based branches which comprise the Economic Society of Australia (the Society). As a federation of regional groups, the Society is united by a Central Council made up of 12 individuals; seven state-based presidents, two national editors and a three-member executive team (President, Secretary and Treasurer). The Central Council publishes two journals (Economic Record and Economic Papers).
A Branch Council is elected each year to provide voluntary administration and organisation of the Society. The Council organises functions, engages with students, represents the organisation at conferences and meetings, and advises on the strategic direction of the organisation.
We are always looking for members to involve themselves in the running of the organisation. Please contact us at admin@esatas.org.au to express your interest in becoming involved.
