Steven Cohen, 2014 Committee on Nominations Chair
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 in academia, business or industry, research firms, government, or nonprofit organizations. This is why we need your input.
Nominations are being sought for ASA president-elect and vice president candidates for the 2015 election year, with terms beginning January 1, 2016. Yes, the 2014 elections have yet to be held, but the Committee on Nominations needs time to evaluate nominations for these critical positions.
The president-elect will be nominated from government (federal, state, local, foreign) and the vice president from academia. 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 choice by emailing committee chair Steven Cohen at cohen@ahrq.gov or Pam Craven, ASA executive secretary, 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 nominations is February 1, 2014. Questions and suggestions may be directed to Cohen.
