We are seeking nominations for 1 leadership positions in the SEM SIG---and we must run contested elections, so we need at least 2 nominees for the position.
Program Chair Program Chair follows a single year as Chair-Elect---Holmes Finch is currently serving as Chair-Elect for the AERA 2016 meeting and will take over the Program Chair responsibilities at the end of the annual meeting). This is a 2 year commitment. Responsibilities include putting the AERA 2017 program together with Holmes, and taking over as Program Chair of the SIG for the AERA 2018 meeting. Also, we don’t have a separate position of Chair, so the program chair also assumes responsibility for the chair duties during that second year.
Secretary/Treasurer The secretary takes minutes at any of the meetings of the SIG and also oversees the newly resurrected newsletter. Other responsibilities include financial matters such as handling reimbursement of expenses. Secretary/Treasurer is a two year position. We are not electing someone these year as the term ends in May of 2017. But plan ahead if you are interested in running next year.
If you are interested or would like to nominate someone, please forward to [email protected] the person’s name, contact information and a short professional bio (no more than 250 words) by October 31st, 2014.
Your continued support of the SEM SIG is greatly appreciated.
