Governance Roles :
- Early Career Mathematicians Committee : Event Leader
The Event Leader leads on developing new and existing events for the ECM community, and liaises with the IMA Conference Department to set up these events during their year of office. Events range from in-person or virtual conferences, to virtual Maths Teas, to icebreaker-type events to aid with networking. All ECM committee members contribute to running the events.
