Now Accepting Nominations for the VSS Board of Directors

  <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> 

Each year, nominations are solicited for two positions on the Vision Sciences Society Board of Directors. 

Board Member Responsibilities
Terms last for 4-5 years. Typically, one of the two fourth-year members serves as President with the other as Vice President. For this cohort, the Presidential term would be the 2027-2028 year for the 2028 conference. The President also serves a fifth year for continuity and so that the Board will always have 9 members.

VSS is managed by Meeting Perfect which adeptly manages day-to-day operations. Primary responsibilities for Board members include:

*     Serving on sub-committees that oversee various topics such as travel awards, satellite events, community outreach, workshops, graphic competitions, and awards
*     Attending roughly bi-monthly Board meetings via Zoom
*     Preparing for and attending the in-person Board meeting in January where the program is formed for the May conference
*     Attending the VSS conference, including a subset of designated talk sessions and events associated with sub-committee membership
*     Dealing with special unexpected issues, such as the potential need to work with Meeting Perfect to find and vet alternative meeting sites

Board members' travel costs and accommodations for the January Board meeting, and accommodations and registration for the annual meeting are covered by VSS. Board members may not give talks at the meeting or participate in symposia during their service (although members of their lab may do so). In addition, Board members cannot submit nominations or letters of support for VSS Awards.

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 3 regular or postdoc VSS members. One person should email the nomination to  <mailto:vss at visionsciences.org> VSS Staff with a cc: to the other two nominators. The other two nominators should then indicate their endorsement by forwarding the nominating email to  <mailto:vss at visionsciences.org> VSS Staff. Please include a recent CV and a short paragraph describing the qualifications of the nominee, as well as assurance that the nominee is willing to serve. With their consent, nominees may remain on the nominee list for three years.

Selection Slate of Candidates

The current members of the Nominating Committee are Geoff Boynton, SP Arun, Marisa Carrasco, Roland Fleming and Ruth Rosenholtz. For each open Board 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.
