Call for Nominations - 2009 Board of Directors

The Nomination Process Begins With You!

Watch your email inboxes for the AES Call for Nominations on June 26. We will be asking for your nominations of individuals to fill the open positions for the AES 2009 Board of Directors. One of the goals in our nomination and election process is to produce an effective volunteer leadership team. An open nomination process is used to facilitate the representation of fresh ideas within the leadership, along with maintaining optimal continuity and insight into the Society's needs and functions. Another goal is to ensure representation on the board that reflects the wonderful diversity of our membership. Your nominations will be submitted to and reviewed by the Nominating Committee who will use your recommendations to identify the final candidates for the 2009 ballots.
