MSA Council nominations
Deadline for Nominations: February 15, 2016
Dear MSA Colleagues:
We are now accepting Nominations to fill six (6) Council positions – Vice President, Treasurer, and four (4) Councilors. Please contribute by nominating a colleague for any or all of these positions. Nominations can be submitted online or you can return this nomination form by February 15, 2016 to MSA Vice President Tom Volk by e-mail or regular mail. You may also fax your nominations to our Business Office at (785) 843-6153 or to Tom Volk at (608) 785-6959. We encourage nominations of members that improve diversity in the MSA from groups who have been historically underrepresented on the MSA Council. Self-nomination is allowed and encouraged.
Vice President Tom Volk will count the nominations received by MSA members and assemble a ranked list of the nominees based on the nominations by MSA members. The candidate for each office who receives the greatest number of nominations from the membership will be contacted and, if willing to stand, placed on the spring ballot along with a candidate selected by the MSA Nominating Committee.
The spring ballot will be available to all members at least three months prior to the society annual meeting to be held in Berkeley, CA from 7-11 August, 2016. These nominations and elections are important to the Society and you are strongly encouraged to participate. Please refer to the MSA home page at www.msafungi.org (in particular http://msafungi.org/msa-business/msa-officers-and-roster/) for a list of past and present Councilors and Officers.
Thank you for your participation!
