Call for Nomination of Officers

Any member of the SSE can nominate another member of SSE for Council. In each annual election, nominations are solicited for the President (three-year term, serving as President-elect, then President, then retiring president), and two Councilors (three-year term). In addition, nominations for two Vice-Presidents (one from North America and one from elsewhere, two-year term) and Secretary (three-year term) will be sought in 2011 to begin serving in 2012.

To nominate a member for the Council or for an officer position (President, North American Vice President, non-North American Vice President or Secretary), please submit by March 15 the name and contact information of the nominee plus a short statement (<200 words) explaining the reasons for the nomination, discussing the qualifications of the candidate and their ability to serve as an SSE representative.

The Nominations Committee of the SSE will consider all nominated candidates and determine a single slate to present to Council for ratification.  By constitution, this slate must consist of two candidates for each office, except for the offices of Executive Vice-President and Secretary who run uncontested.

In selecting candidates, the nominations committee will give due consideration to publication and service history, representation of the various fields of interest to the Society, and representation of the diversity of the SSE membership.

The duties of the SSE Officers can be found in the SSE Constitution and Bylaws. For more details, please see the SSE Constitution http://www.evolutionsociety.org/download/sse_constitution.pdf.

Respectfully submitted,  Judy Stone, SSE Secretary
