Permanent Correspondants
Each member of EuroGeographics appoints a Permanent Correspondent as the main point of contact with the Association’s Head Office. They can ask us for information, help or support at any time, in particular when external support from a membership association may be required. For more information, please contact our Membership and Communications Manager, Patricia Sokacova.
Permanent Correspondents act as the ears, eyes and voice of their member organisation and are responsible for ensuring that as many of their colleagues as possible are able to benefit from EuroGeographics membership. They are well informed about the activities of their organisation, have good communication skills and are proficient in English.
Their role includes:
- Passing on information such as emails and invitations to events to their colleagues, as well as promoting the Members Newsletter through their organisation’s internal communications channels.
- Encouraging colleagues to participate in our Knowledge Exchange activities to enable continuous professional development and capacity building within the member organisation.
- Updating EuroGeographics about any organisational change such as a new Head of organisation or a new address.
Informing EuroGeographics of any news, achievements or progress in their organisation that they would like to promote through the membership network or to external stakeholders. - Coordinating responses to questionnaires or surveys from EuroGeographics.
- Working in partnership with EuroGeographics Head Office Team works. For example, when organising and arranging knowledge exchange activities and events, planning and preparations for General Assemblies, when compiling the EuroGeographics Annual Review, or when arranging collaborative events with our partner organisations, such as the PCC and EuroSDR.
General Assemblies
EuroGeographics holds two General Assemblies each year, not only for official Association business but also to provide opportunities for high-level knowledge exchange with peers. The main General Assembly is hosted by one of our members and takes place in the autumn. It is attended by the heads of the European National Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registry Authorities. The Extraordinary General Assembly, for permanent correspondents, is held in the spring and coincides with the publication of our Annual Review.
Both provide the opportunity to report on our progress and future plans, share expertise and discuss key issues as well as to carry out the formal business of the Association. This includes approving our accounts, budget and subscriptions for the coming year and new member applications. Elections are also held to appoint a President and Management Board members.
More information about the General Assembly can be found in the Articles of the Association.
