And this is a guide to the nomination:

Please let me know if you are interested in any of these positions, or just
go ahead and nominate yourself or someone else. It would be great to have
as much linguistic anthropological representation as possible. Below are
the open positions that linguistic anthropologists are eligible for:

--

*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

*Nominations Committee*
Undesignated Seat
The nominee • Is a member of the AAA. • Knows people in all fields of
anthropology. • Has served on boards or councils (or both). • Could be an
academic, a graduate student, or an outside-the-academy practitioner.
Unemployed and underemployed anthropologists in any field would be great
for this position, too.
