APSA Nominating Committee

In accordance with the APSA bylaws, the APSA Nominating Committee prepares a slate of nominees for APSA Council and officer positions. In selecting a slate of nominees, the Nominating Committee makes recommendations with due regard for geographic distribution, field of professional interest, methodological orientation, types of institutions where members are employed, race, ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexuality, disability, and other important forms of diversity, as required by the bylaws (V.3.b).

APSA is now accepting suggestions for APSA officers and Council members for consideration by the nominating committee. Council or officer nominations can be submitted to nominations@apsanet.org with a description of why the nominee's accomplishments, background, and views would make them a good Council member or officer. The committee will meet in February or March to compile a slate of candidates. The slate of nominees, along with any additional nominations submitted by petition, will be put to a member vote via electronic ballot over the summer. 

The 2023-2024 nominating committee is Michael Jones-Correa, University of Pennsylvania (chair); Victor Asal, University of Albany (SUNY); Erin Aeran Chung, Johns Hopkins University; Michelle Clarke, Dartmouth College;  Erik Voeten, Georgetown University; and Stacey Yadav, Hobart and William Smith Colleges.

APSA also accepts nominees by petition. Find more information  on submitting a nominee by petition, and on the APSA election process, here
