Submit Suggestions for Elected and Appointed Offices 2022

Elected Positions. ASA members are invited to suggest names for consideration for elected offices, including: President-Elect, Vice President-Elect, Council Members-at-Large, Committee on Committees, Nominating Committee, and Publications Committee. Suggestions for elected positions will be sent to the relevant body that determines the ballot for each position—either Committee on Committees, Nominating Committee, or Council Members-At-Large. Selected nominees will ultimately appear on the 2022 election ballot for ASA member vote.

Appointed Positions. ASA members are invited to suggest names for consideration for appointment to ASA committees, including the Annual Meeting Travel Fund Award Selection Committee, Awards Committee, Committee on Professional Ethics, Sections Committee, and the ASA award selection committees. Suggestions for appointed positions are reviewed by the Committee on Committees. Committee members are formally appointed by Council. All terms begin on January 1, 2022.

When submitting a suggestion for either an elected or appointed position, consider how well the person meets the standards of professional ethics as articulated in the ASA Code of Ethics (e.g., harassment, plagiarism, discrimination). Submit suggestions by May 1 to nominations@asanet.org.
