If willing to run for office, those nominated will be asked to provide information on the items above, their vision and recommendations for improving the division and other relevant information not included above that they deem important. The nominating committee will use these criteria in determining the final election slate.
Division service is worthwhile and also fun. Please consider nominating someone or yourself to run for open positions. Please also remember to vote when elections begin. This is your opportunity to have a say in the future of the division and its role in the Academy.
