VSS 2021 Goes Virtual! May 21-26

 



Now Accepting Nominations for the VSS Board of Directors  

 



Each year, nominations are solicited 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 periodically throughout the year.

 

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:vss at visionsciences.org> Shauney Wilson with a cc: to the other two nominators. The other two nominators should indicate their endorsement by forwarding the nominating email to  <mailto:vss at visionsciences.org> Shauney Wilson. 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. With their consent, nominees may remain on the nominee list for three years. 

 

Selection of Slate of Candidates

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 current members of the Nominating Committee are Laurie Wilcox, Karl Gegenfurtner, Julio Martinez, Jenny Read, and Steve Shevell. The VSS President chairs the Nominating Committee. 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.
