e-mail from the AAA over the past few weeks, there are 10 open leadership
positions for which the AAA nominations committee will need to assemble a slate
for the 2018 elections, chosen from nominations provided by the AAA
membership.  On behalf of the SLA board
and Nominations Committee, I write to encourage you to consider nominating someone,
or self-nominating, for one of these positions (see below).  Although none of them are linguistic specific,
a linganth perspective is very helpful, especially in conjunction with any
other disciplinary perspective a nominee might have.  The submission deadline is October 4th which
is of course coming up fast.  For details on how to nominate, see: </span><a href="http://www.americananthro.org/ParticipateAndAdvocate/Content.aspx?ItemNumber=1777&navItemNumber=748" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Arial">http://www.americananthro.org/ParticipateAndAdvocate/Content.aspx?ItemNumber=1777&navItemNumber=748</span></a><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Arial"><span></span></span></p>
