[DiGRA UK] Nominations for DiGRA board (now with e-mails!)

[Esther MacCallum-Stewart]

I forgot one / three - for which apologies.

Student Officer
The student officer should be a current higher education student who
represents the needs and voice of students who are also members of DiGRA.
Multiple people can hold this role at once.

In the past we have also had access and diversity officers, but at the
moment we aren't expecting a huge amount of submissions. To this end, if
anyone additionally wants to nominate themselves into either of these
roles, please feel free. It is expected that access and diversity are part
of the central remit of DiGRA UK (as stated in the DiGRA Code of Conduct),
and we welcome members who wish to fill these roles.
