Dear Colleagues,



We am writing to encourage you to consider nominating yourself for one of
two open SLA positions in the 2015 AAA elections. Our current
*President-Elect*, Bonnie Urciuoli, will assume the office of the President
at the end of this year. In addition a *Member at Large*, Jim Wilce, will
also see the end of his term. Please consider participating in the SLA’s
Executive Committee by running for one of these two offices.



*President-Elect*: The President-elect shall assume the duties of the
President in the event of absence, death, resignation or incapacity of the
President, and shall succeed to the office of President at the expiration
of the term as President-elect.



*Member at Large*: There shall be an Executive Committee consisting of the
officers, two members elected at-large from the membership of the Society,
and any additional representatives elected by this Society to the Board of
Directors of the American Anthropological Association.



If you are interested in running for either of these positions, please

Nominations Committee of the SLA can give you more detailed instructions
