Dea All,

 

All IPS members anyway - please see the message below and send nominations asap!

Thanks, Caroline

 

 

The next election of Officers of IPS will take place early this year and elected individuals will take office at the upcoming Congress, in August 2014, in Hanoi, Vietnam. The following four offices are up for election in this cycle:

VP for Research
VP for Conservation
Treasurer/VP for Membership
Secretary General.

If you wish to nominate someone for a position, please do so before *February 14th, 2014*. To make a nomination please send Tetsuro Matsuzawa, President of the IPS and Chair of the Elections Committee, ([log in to unmask])* three things:

1) the person's name, contact information, and the office for which the person is nominated;
2) confirmation that the person agrees to serve in that office if elected;
3) a brief narrative explaining the person's qualifications for the office.
All nominees must be current members of the IPS and individuals can self-nominate. More information on these positions can be found in the IPS By-Laws on the IPS website. Nominees should be aware that elected Officers are expected to attend the biennial congresses and IPS Council meetings during their term in office and must contribute to the scientific program of each congress.
The Elections Committee will finalize a slate of ideally two candidates per office by mid-March 2014.
Best wishes,

Andrew
