Apply for ExCom

Complete this application to be considered for the LEC Executive Committee. This launch cohort uses a temporary eligibility exception so the first intake can get underway properly.

Launch cohort exception

Because this is the first ExCom cohort, applicants can be considered before they have already met the longer-term Boardroom membership and referral thresholds.

For this launch intake, the active-participation and 12-month service commitments still apply at application stage. The Boardroom membership and referral thresholds move into the commitments applicants must meet to remain eligible for the next cycle.

Profile and Role

Tell us who you are, where you lead, and which ExCom seat you want to be considered for.

Leadership Case

Help us understand your judgment, your contribution style, and the kind of visibility or partnerships you would bring to the table.

How would you strategically contribute to ExCom?

Why do you want to serve on ExCom?

Share examples of visibility, partnerships, or leadership you would bring

I understand that I may apply under this launch exception before holding Boardroom membership, but I will need to hold Boardroom membership by the next annual eligibility review. I understand that I may apply under this launch exception before reaching the referral threshold, but I will need 3 confirmed referrals within the next 12 months to remain eligible. I confirm I have been actively involved in the LEC community. I confirm I can serve a full 12-month ExCom term.
