Announcement for Global South Members
There were deliberations during the DSA 2019 conference for the need to have global South members of DSA who are also residents in global South as members of DSA Council. The reason for this is to give adequate representation to members in the global South at the DSA Council.
In this regard, the Council acknowledged the importance of having representation of global South members on Council, therefore it was agreed by the Council to have two representatives of global South members in the Council. These persons will be chosen through an online election which will be held amongst global South members.
It is therefore being announced for the information of members from global South who have the interest, passion to serve and time to sacrifice to look out for the call for nominations on the DSA website and present themselves for the election. We also encourage all global South members to participate in the online election when the time is due.
