The Nominating Committee for the ÐÜèÊÓÆµSpecial Interest Groups (SIG) Executive Committee seeks recommendations for well-qualified candidates to run for the positions of chair-elect and member-at-large in the 2023 election. The chair-elect will serve a one-year term as chair-elect followed by a two-year term as chair (simultaneously serving as the SIG representative to ÐÜèÊÓÆµCouncil). The member-at-large will serve a three-year term.
Per AERA’s bylaws, the SIG Executive Committee provides general oversight for the operations of SIGs and makes recommendations to ÐÜèÊÓÆµCouncil regarding their establishment or dissolution. The SIG Executive Committee also recommends policies and procedures for the formation, operations, and dissolution of SIGs for Council review and approval. Upon approval of these policies and procedures by Council, the SIG Executive Committee has responsibility for their implementation. In addition to providing oversight and being concerned with policies and procedures, the SIG Executive Committee functions to promote the welfare of SIGs within the association. The members of the SIG Executive Committee (except the Chair) also serve as members of the Presidential Program Committee, which helps plan the Presidential program for the Annual Meeting.
All recommendations must be received by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday, September 15, 2022. Any current ÐÜèÊÓÆµmember who is a member of at least one SIG may advance recommendations. Individuals may recommend themselves as candidates.
Recommendations can be submitted .
Nominees will be announced in December, and the election will launch in early January 2023. Those elected will take office at the conclusion of the 2023 Annual Meeting.
