Marilyn M. Seastrom, Committee on Nominations Chair

The ASA needs your help. Nominations are being sought for ASA president-elect, vice president, and international representative candidates for the 2016 election year. Although the 2015 elections have not yet been held, the Committee on Nominations needs time to evaluate nominations to propose the best possible slate of candidates in 2016.

As a member of the ASA, you recognize the importance of leadership in our diverse, complex, and multidisciplinary field. You and all fellow ASA members deserve visionary leaders who can ensure our discipline has a voice at the table where appropriate, whether it is academia; business or industry; research firms; federal, state, or local government; or nonprofit organizations. This is why we need your input.

The president-elect will be nominated from industry and the vice president from government (federal, state, local, or foreign). Think about your colleagues and associates who are members of the ASA and would make good candidates for these positions. Think about members who have helped run a conference or are active in your section or chapter. Then, nominate your choices for the 2016 elections of president-elect and vice president by emailing Committee on Nominations Chair Marilyn Seastrom at Marilyn.Seastrom@ed.gov or ASA Executive Secretary Pamela Craven at pamela@amstat.org. Forward as much information about your nominee as possible (though this is optional). We will research each candidate thoroughly and discretely. The deadline for the nominations for these two ASA positions is February 1, 2015.

Nominees for the Inter­national Representative position must reside outside the United States. Deadline for nominees for this position is also February 1, 2015.
