Now Accepting Nominations for the VSS Board of Directors

Each year, the Vision Sciences Society's Board of Directors loses two
members and nominations are solicited for their replacement.

Board Member Responsibilities

Terms last for 4-5 years. Typically, one of the two 4th-year members serves
as President for one year, with the other 4th-year member serving as Vice
President. The President also serves a 5th year on the Board for continuity
and so that the Board always has 9 members.

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 roles

*     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 4 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.

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 Krystel Huxlin (Chair), Arun SP, Roland Fleming,
Ruth Rosenholtz and Mary Hayhoe. 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.
