Call for Nominations for 

the 2018 VSS Board of Directors

Nominations are open for two 4-year positions on the Vision Sciences Society Board of Directors. The Board's responsibilities include scheduling the Annual Meeting, implementing and monitoring VSS policies, budget oversight, and other organizational activities. The Board meets twice a year, during the Annual Meeting and in late January.

Any regular VSS member in good standing may be nominated, with the exception of individuals now on the Board, or who have served on the Board within the last four years.

NOMINATION PROCEDURE:

Each nomination must be endorsed by three regular VSS members. One person should email the nomination to  <mailto:shauneywilson at visionsciences.org> shauneywilson at visionsciences.org and copy the other two nominators on the email. The other two nominators should indicate their endorsement by forwarding the nominating email to  <mailto:shauneywilson at visionsciences.org> shauneywilson at visionsciences.org. Please include a recent vita and a short paragraph describing the qualifications of the nominee, as well as an assurance that the nominee is willing to serve. Nominees will remain on the nominee list for three years, unless they indicate otherwise.

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 Eli Brenner, Barbara Dosher, Julie Harris, Pascal Mamassian and Mary Peterson. 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.
