Deadline Extended for Board of Directors Nominations to July 22nd

Post Date: July 1 2016

Nominations are currently being accepted for a General Election to the AISES Board of Directors. In total 4 positions are available and all AISES members in good standing are eligible to nominate or be nominated. Your immediate attention to this very important matter is appreciated.

Election:

There are four openings on the Board of Directors. The terms of the positions for election for AISES Board of Directors are as follows: Rick Stephens (first term – November 9, 2016), Dr. James May and Dr. Mark Bellcourt (final term, November 9, 2016). (There is also one additional vacant seat available.) These AISES Board members have dedicated their time and energy to the AISES family as your representatives. They have made significant contributions to the effort of directing the organization in a positive, progressive direction in fulfillment of the AISES mission. AISES thanks these individuals for their service and dynamic contributions to AISES.

Nominations Process:

In accordance with the AISES Bylaws there must be a minimum of two candidates nominated for each available vacancy. Therefore, we are currently seeking at least two (2) nominations each for four (4) Board of Director positions. For the General Election, the three (3) year terms will be filled by the three candidates that receive the most votes. It is important that these slots be filled to maintain the required rotation of Board Members entering and leaving the Board as stated in the AISES Bylaws.

It is the responsibility of the AISES membership to submit nominations for these vacancies, and the responsibility of the General and Associate Members to elect new incoming members to the AISES Board of Directors.

You may nominate any current member of AISES to the Board of Directors. The AISES Bylaws allow for both General and Associate members to be elected to the Board of Directors. You are invited to review the Bylaws which can be accessed from the AISES website at http://www.aises.org/about/board.
