Call for nominations (AATSEEL President-Elect): 1 March deadline

[Nancy Condee]

As Past President of AATSEEL, I am pleased to solicit nominees to run for
President-Elect of the organization.   The successful candidate will assume
the two-year position of President-Elect in January 2015, the first year of
a six-year commitment.  Years 1 and 2 are spent as President Elect
(contributing to the agenda for Annual meetings, acting as consultant for
field-wide problems, taking minutes at the Executive Council);  Years 3 and
4 are as President (running meetings, working with executive director, and
representing the organization to the outside world); and then Years 5 and 6
as Past President and chair of nominations and awards committee. 

 

Speaking from the experience of five of those six years, I can say that
holding office in AATSEEL is among the most interesting professional
experiences a Slavist can undergo, incomparable with leadership positions in
one's home institution.   After serving six years, one knows the field: not
just its subject matter but its most active and promising members.  The
President-Elect will have the network and support of the Executive Council,
as well as the President and Past President, to reach collaborative
decisions about the organization.

 

Any member of AATSEEL is qualified to run.  If you would like to run, or if
you know a person who might run (and you have confirmed interest from that
person), please email me by 1 March (Saturday) at condee at pitt.edu.   We
welcome your active participation in choosing the next President-Elect.

 

Best wishes, 

 

Nancy Condee

AATSEEL Past President
