NANAS ACCEPTING NOMINATIONS FOR POSITIONS IN GOVERNING COUNCIL, DUE DEC 16

This year, three positions in the Governing Council are up for re-election and seek nominations. We are looking for three candidates to serve as members-at-large on the Governing Council. Eligible nominees for members-at-large need to have been NANAS members for two consecutive years. 

We will accept the nomination of a fellow NANAS member or self-nomination until December 16. Electronic voting will begin shortly after and will remain open for 30 days. Everyone who has been a member in 2023 will be eligible to vote.  

Please email your nominations by or on December 16 to joh@uttyler.edu using the subject line: NANAS Nominations 2024. Indicate the names and email addresses of all persons you are nominating. You can nominate someone even if you are unsure whether they have been NANAS members for the required periods – the Governing Council will crosscheck that for all nominations. 

We will contact all nominees who did not self-nominate and invite them to accept or decline the nomination as a candidate. All candidates will be asked to write up a brief statement of candidacy. Members of the Governing Council participate in a few digital Governing Council meetings per year, organize NANAS events, and help shape the future of NANAS as an organization.
