[Air-l] AoIR Executive elections

[Matthew Allen]

Dear all
 
I am pleased to announce that nominations for candidacy for election to the AoIR executive have now closed and a strong and diverse field of candidates has emerged. There is more than one candidate for all the positions (see below).
 
We will now have a month of discussion and consideration prior to the commencement of voting in July. This discussion will take place through asynchronous (bulletin board) forums at http://forums.aoir.org. At this site, after creating a simple account (done automatically when you register), you may:
 
- read the position statements of the candidates (that are based on answers to questions agreed by the current exec)
 
- initiate discussion with any and all candidates by posting questions or raising issues with them
 
- follow the debate between candidates and voters
 
I will provide further information closer to the end of June on the simple voting procedure. I can announce that Jennifer Stromer-Galley of University of Albany has been appointed again as ballot counter.
 
The candidates are:
 
Vice President/President-elect
Charles Ess; James Watt
 
Treasurer
Alex Halavais; Catherine Middleton; Monica Murero
 
Secretary
Irene Berkowitz; Sabryna Cornish; Elijah Wright 
 
Graduate Student Representative
