Nominations are being sought for ASA president-elect and vice president candidates for the 2020 election year. Yes, the 2019 elections have yet to be held, but the Committee on Nominations needs time to evaluate recommendations in order to propose the best possible slate of candidates for these critical positions.

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 be in academe; research firms; federal, state, or local government; or nonprofit organizations. This is why we need your input.

For this election cycle, the president-elect will be selected from academia and vice president will be selected from industry. 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 2021 president-elect and vice president by emailing elections@amstat.org.

Supply as much information about your nominee as possible to assist the committee in researching each candidate thoroughly and discretely.

The deadline for nominations is February 1, 2019.
