<br>
ALT elects a number of new officers every two years. For 2014, we have to elect
three new members of the executive committee, to replace Pattie Epps, Nick
Evans and Volker Gast, whose term ends this year, and four new members of the
editorial board of LT, to replace Joan Bybee, Guglielmo Cinque and Martine
Vanhove, whose term also ends this year. We take this opportunity to thank Pattie,
Nick, Volker, Joan, Guglielmo and Martine for their work in the executive committe
and the board of the journal. <br>
<br>
The president, Johanna Nichols, has asked the nominating committee to prepare a
slate for the elections. Members were also invited to submit nominations to the
committee. Now members have the chance to cast their vote: they can either
approve of the entire slate or approve or disapprove of part of the slate.<br>
<br>
Assuming that you are a member, please return your ballot to <<a href="mailto:alt2013elections@gmail.com" target="_blank">alt2013elections@gmail.com</a>>
before December 10, 2013.<br>
