Recommendations for Council Seats

The APSA Nominating Committee welcomes your suggestions for candidates for the 2010-11 Council. This year, 8 Council seats, 3 vice presidencies, and the offices of president-elect, and secretary are open. Council members serve staggered two-year terms. The president-elect, vice presidents, and secretary all serve one-year terms.

The committee encourages all members of the association to suggest names for consideration. Those wishing to do so should explain why they believe the person's accomplishments, background, and views would make them a good choice for a leadership position in the association.  The Nominating Committee hopes to nominate a slate of accomplished scholars and practitioners who reflect the diverse membership of the association.  To help the committee achieve this goal, they rely on the membership to forward suggestions and recommendations of candidates representing a broad spectrum of backgrounds, Institutional settings, intellectual interests, professional experiences, and geographical regions. 

The committee will meet in February to begin compiling a slate of candidates, which they will present to the current association president and Council no later than April 15, 2010.  A report will be made during the General Membership Meeting on Saturday,  September 4 as part of the 2010 APSA Annual Meeting to be held in Washington, DC.
