At this year’s Annual Business Meeting, which will begin at 5:30 PM on February 4, 2010 at the ASC in San Antonio, the AAS will hold elections for president-elect, secretary, treasurer, and positions on the Ethics, Global Affairs, Information and Technology, and Membership Committees. Interested candidate and active members have submitted online self-nominations that include brief statements of interest. These statements will be compiled and posted on the AAS website so that they can be reviewed by the membership before the meeting. In addition, printed copies of the statements will be distributed along with the ballots at the meeting. Members who have submitted self-nominations online will not need to be present at the meeting to be elected. Members who have not submitted self-nominations will be able to nominate themselves from the floor during the business meeting but will not be able to provide a statement of interest. To view the nominees prior to the business meeting, please click here.
New members of the Program Committee will be appointed by the president, Dr. Kevin Staveley-O’Carroll, during the business meeting. Further information about the responsibilities of Program Committee members is available at http://www.aasurg.org/nominations/committeejobs.php. Only active AAS members are eligible for this committee; please remember that members may only serve on one committee at a time. Interested members should send a brief statement of interest (100 words or less) and an abbreviated (4-page) curriculum vitae to Dr. Staveley-O’Carroll at ksoc@psu.edu.
