Dear members of the Finnish
Astronomical Society (FAS)
The annual meeting of the society
will be held during the European
Week of Astronomy and Space Science
meeting, in congress centre Logomo
(Köydenpunojankatu 14, Turku). The
meeting begins at 16:30. The agenda
of the meeting is given below.
N.B.: the changes to the rules,
accepted in the previous annual
meeting, finally became effective
today. Thus, the annual meeting of
this year is carried out according
to the new rules. More information
about the changes can be
found here.
In particular notice the
possibility to participate decisions
while being absent using a mandate:
according to the new rules, a member
can "represent maximally five (5)
other members, forborne to be
present in the meeting, with signed
mandate forms." The mandate forms
need to be signed (on paper), and
they need to tell unambiguously who
is mandating whom for which meeting.
You can download a fillable form here (PDF)
and give it, signed, to your representative.
If you can't attend the annual
meeting but have some issues that
you would like to bring up or
mention at the meeting, please
contact the board. Also, if you wish
to stand for election to the board,
we would ask you to let us know in
beforehand. The society's email
address is info@ttseura.fi.
