The VSS bylaws provide for a Nominating Committee, composed of VSS members
who are highly respected scientists chosen to represent the broad range of
disciplines representative of VSS members (the VSS President chairs the
Nominating Committee). The current members of the Nominating Committee are
Bill Geisler, Barbara Dosher, Michael Morgan, Mary Peterson and Preeti
Verghese. For each open Director position, the Nominating Committee selects
from the nominees a slate of candidates who are highly respected scientists
and who, when added to the Board of Directors, would result in broad
representation of the disciplines representative of VSS members.
