CALL FOR THE NOMINATION OF IASCL OFFICERS

Dear Members,

I am writing to you as the Chair of the Nominating and Appointing  
Committee of the International Association for the Study of Child
Language (IASCL). The other two Nominating and Appointing Committee  
members are Fred Genesee and Aylin Kuntay,

According to the Statutes of our Association (see the relevant details  
at the end of this message and the IASCL website for a full  
description), the purpose of this message is to invite members of the  
IASCL to send in nominations for IASCL Officers.

At present, the Association has five officers* (the role of Assistant  
Treasurer will not be continued past the next Congress), filled as  
follows :	
	
President**:

Elena Lieven, Germany

lieven at eva.mpg.de

Vice-President:

Martha Crago, Canada

martha.crago at dal.ca

Secretary:

Ludovica Serratrice, UK

serratrice at manchester.ac.uk

Assistant Secretary:

Brian MacWhinney USA

macw at mac.com

Treasurer:

Anna Theakston, UK

Current officers can all be re-nominated for a second term but it is  
customary to make new appointments for the roles of President and Vice- 
President.

The new positions will be tenable for three years (2011-2014).

Nominations for these positions should reach me at:
edy.veneziano at parisdescartes.fr by December 17th, 2010.

Nomination details should include
- the mailing/emailing address of the nominee
- a brief statement of his/her qualifications for office
- evidence of his/her agreement (signature or email correspondence)
- details of the nominator (who must be a member of the Association).

Looking forward to hearing from you, I send you my very best wishes.

Edy Veneziano
Chair of the IASCL Nominating Committee

  Relevant Details of Statutes

The Nominating and Appointing Committee shall be appointed by the  
President no later than six months before a congress. It shall consist  
of three members, none of whom is currently an officer of the  
Association. First, the Committee will request nominations from the  
membership for the officers' positions. These nominations will have to  
have been approved by the nominees themselves. The Nominating and  
Appointing Committee may make additional nominations directly. Second,  
the appointment of the officers will be ratified at the Business  
Meeting of the Association. In making their selection the members of  
the Committee will take into consideration the credentials of the  
nominees and the logistics of the organization of the next congress.
