Election of Advisory Committee members - address to send your vote to

Dear Jane,
Do we cast just one vote for the advisory committee members, or do we select 5 people (as there are slots open)?
Cheers, 
Laurel

Dear all

Sorry about resending this message, but it has been pointed out to me that the e-mail address of Ana Ostermann, Secretary of IGALA, to whom you should send your vote, was missing from the message. I did deliberately cc. her but certainly on the copy I received her name has disappeared from there.

Ana’s e-mail address is

ACO at unisinos.br

(and cc-d above too just in case it works there this time)

Best wishes to all

Jane

-----Original Message-----From: International Gender and Language Association [mailto:GALA-L at LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Jane SunderlandSent: 08 January 2008 10:27To: GALA-L at LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORGSubject: Election of Advisory Committee members

Dear all

As you will recall, we are about to elect new members of the IGALA Advisory Council. From a previous message:

IGALA is seeking between 5 and 8 members for the Advisory Council, to replace current Advisory Council members. We are looking for as broad a geographic spectrum as possible (in particular, non-English-dominant countries). One Advisory Council member will be a Graduate Student Representative. The other members should be able to represent key areas of gender and language research, and, together, a range of research priorities.
Advisory Council members will be part of the IGALA Executive Committee and will attend (in person or electronically) all meetings if at all possible. The first of these will be at IGALA5 in Wellington, New Zealand (July 3-5, 2008); the next will be an e-meeting around 12 months after that. The term of office will be 3 years.
==================================================================
Also as a reminder, the ‘Job description’ of AC members is as follows:

- monitoring and promoting language and gender research in their own specialist area within IGALA
- monitoring and promoting language and gender research within their own geographical region
- carrying out various tasks and serving on sub-committees or working parties of IGALA as required (for example, web-site monitoring, essay competition, local event/branch development and co-ordination, 'talking to the world' - see Minutes of last AGM on IGALA website
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/organisations/igala/activities.html)
- suggesting to the IGALA Executive/Advisory Committee further IGALA-related activities
- actively contributing to IGALA Executive/Advisory committee e-mail discussions

and for the Graduate Student Representative

·        to bring issues to IGALA that are of concern and importance to graduate students
·        to work with other IGALA members and members of the Executive Committee to make graduate students an active and visible presence within IGALA
·        to facilitate graduate contributions’ to and representation at the IGALA conferences and their involvement in other professional activities
·        in coordination with the conference organizers and other members of the IGALA executive committee and membership, to develop one graduate student workshop at each IGALA conference on a topic or topics relevant to the professional and intellectual development of graduate students and junior academic staff/faculty
·        to be a member of the committee in charge of the IGALA Graduate Student Essay Competition (to be chaired by the President-Elect/Vice President)

All paid-up members of IGALA (including the candidates) are able to vote, and every member has just one vote. Please send the name of the person you would like to vote for to Ana Ostermann, IGALA Secretary (cc. above). If you are not a member of IGALA but would like to join (and vote), please see the Link below. If your application to join IGALA is pending please let Ana know this. Remember that membership of IGALA includes a subscription to the ‘Gender and Language’ journal, now in its second successful year.
The list of candidates is attached. As you will see, there are two candidates for the post of Graduate Student Representative. Please do not distinguish between these and the other candidates when you vote. If these candidates both receive a high number of votes it is likely that we will invite the one with the higher number to be the GSR, and the other to be an ‘ordinary’ member.
All votes should be cast one by month (28 days) from today, i.e. by the end of Tuesday Feb. 5, 2008.
With best wishes to all
Jane Sunderland (IGALA President) and Vicky Bergvall (IGALA Vice President/President Elect)
