Play a role in choosing your next ASPET Leaders
The call for nominations for ASPET Council positions is now open. Nominate fellow colleagues and/or yourself for President-elect, Secretary/Treasurer-elect, and Councilor positions for consideration in the 2019 ASPET Election. The 2019 ASPET Election will be open for voting from January 2019 through February 2019. Newly elected Council officers will take their positions effective July 1, 2019.
These are critically important positions that will shape the future of the field by ensuring that the Society’s leadership continues to represent its diverse and growing membership. When selecting potential candidates, we urge you to consider visionary leaders – people with great ideas, sound judgment, and the willingness to work hard to see things to completion. It is especially important that the elected individuals be aligned with the direction and strategic plan of ASPET.
The deadline to submit nominations is 11:59 PM ET, Friday, April 6, 2018.
ASPET Council
The Society is governed by an elected council consisting of the President, the President-Elect and the immediate Past President (each serving for a one-year term in that elected office), the Secretary/Treasurer, the Secretary/Treasurer-Elect and the immediate Past Secretary/Treasurer (each serving for a one-year term in that elected office), and three Councilors (each serving a three-year term in that elected office, with one Councilor retiring each year). In addition to the elected members of Council, the Executive Officer, the chair of the Board of Publications Trustees, the chair of the Program Committee, and the FASEB Board representative are non-voting ex officio members of Council during their terms in the respective offices. See the current council members.
