The Board of Directors is the executive body of IATUL responsible for leading the development of the Association, its strategic direction, and actions.

IATUL is seeking expressions of interest for the position of Treasurer as a co-opted member of the Executive Board. 

Application criteria:

  • Financial acumen and experience.
  • Ability to read and speak German.
  • Willingness to be an official representative of an (ordinary) member institution of IATUL.

Further details:

  • The Board decision as to who shall be invited to join the Executive Board as our next Treasurer will be presented to the General Assembly for approval.
  • The next Treasurer will start their service on 1 January 2026. The hand-over will begin after their appointment at the next meeting of the General Assembly in November 2025.

The Treasurer takes an active part in the work of the IATUL Board of Directors, including attendance and participation at Board and Executive Board meetings. Each Board meets four times a year with one meeting in person during IATUL’s Annual International Conference and General Assembly, where some associated financial compensation is made for travel costs.

Interested, but hesitating as you don’t think this could be you? Studies have shown that some groups of people are less likely to apply for roles if they don’t meet every single criteria. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic Association, so if you’re excited about this opportunity but worried that your experience doesn’t align perfectly, we would like to encourage you to give it a go and apply. You may be just the right person.

 

Please submit your expression of interest to the IATUL Office

to office@iatul.org, briefly outlining your interest in the role and related experience.

The President would also welcome a discussion 

if you would like any further information: president@iatul.org. Applications may be submitted until the 16th October 2025.
