[Linganth] Open positions on the AAA board - deadline extended!

[Elise Berman]

Dear all,

In addition to nominating yourself or someone else for the SLA position,
please consider nominating yourself or someone else for several open
positions on the AAA board. None are linguistic specific, but linguistic
anthropologists are eligible for several. The executive board open
positions include President-elect, Minority seat, and
Practicing/Professional seat; the nominations committee open positions
include the Undesignated seat.

Positions on both the executive board and the nominations committee come
with funding for airfare and hotel reimbursement to attend the annual AAA
meetings. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

The deadline has been extended to October 15. You only need one letter of
support - the person nominating you can be the one to write it or if you
self-nominate you write someone's name in.

Information about the nomination process is here:

Sincerely,
Elise

*Executive Board*
*President-Elect*
The nominee must meet all four:
• Is currently a member of the AAA (or will renew his or her membership
before submitting his or her nomination materials.
• Is fully tenured (Full Professor) or its equivalent in the corporate
world (Fully employed, with full benefits).
• Has been the leader of an academic board (Editor of a Journal, President
of a AAA Section, Chair of an academic Department, or Dean).
• Has been part of AAA Governance (President, Secretary or Treasurer of an
AAA Section, Member of the Nominations Committee or the Executive Board).

*Minority Seat*
Nominees must be members of the AAA. Since most people do not want to
recognize themselves as minorities, and historical minorities are not
necessarily minorities today, we accept that someone can run for a Minority
Seat if they meet one or more of the following requirements:
A. They see and acknowledge themselves as part of a minority in the
historical sense (Indigenous, Black, Latino, Asian or Southern European,
for example) or as a gender minority (members of the LGBT+ community or
non-gender or other gender minorities).
B. They are members of one of the Identity Sections of the AAA (AIA, ALLA,
AQA, ABA, ASA, or SACC), or they are members of SSA.
C. They live and work in any other country, outside the United States of
America. If they are US Citizens, we understand that they represent
anthropologists from the country where they are based; or D.
They suffer from a physical or behavioral disability.

*Practicing-Professional Seat *
A nominee must • Work as an independent consultant for local communities,
interest groups, NGOs, private companies or corporations; or • Be a
resident anthropologist employed by a private company or corporation, OR •
Work both in academia and as a consultant in community projects, NGOs,
and/or private companies or corporations
