Dear ISHPSSB Members:
Below is the preliminary slate for ISHPSSB
Officers, proposed by the Nominating Committee (Marion Blute, Richard
Burian, Jean Gayon, Jason Robert, Betty Smocovitis, Gar Allen, Chair).
This slate was arrived at after much discussion, and is based on a
variety of considerations, in an attempt to achieve diversity in
geographic, gender and speciality diversity. All officers will be
elected this spring by e-mail vote and will take office at the end of
the Business Meeting on July 15, 2009, in Brisbane.
For President-elect:
Marcia Richmond (History; United States)
Paul
Griffiths (Philosophy; Australia)
For
Secretary: Lisa
Gannett (Philosophy; Canada)*
For
Treasurer: Roberta
Millstein (Philosophy; United States)*
For Program Co-Chairs:
Mark Largent (History; United States)
Chris

Gregory
Radick (History; UK)
Lilian

* Both Roberta Millstein and Lisa Gannett are finishing their first
two-year term as Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. Given that
there is a considerable learning-curve in positions we recommended,
and both agreed, to stand again for election for a term to end in 2011.
The following Officers will continue in the following capacities:
President: Ana
Barahona (History; Mexico)
Past-
President: James
Griesemer (Philosophy; United States)
Council: John
Dupre (Philosophy; UK); term expires 2011
Jean
Gayon (Philosophy/History; France); term expires 2011
Betty
Smocovitis (History; United States); term expires 2011
Leaving the Council at the end of the Brisbane meeting are:
Werner
Callebaut (History/Austria)
Sandra
Mitchell (History/United States)
Edna
Suarez (History/Mexico)
The graduate student contingency nominates and elects its own
representative(s) to the Council.
The Nominating Committee now invites paid-up
members of the Society to make additional nominations for any of the
above positions, as prescribed by the Society's By-laws. Nominations
must be made by TWO members and accompanied by a letter/e-mail from
the candidate expressing their willingness to stand for election, and
a 125-150-word biography of the candidate. We must receive all
nominations by April 10, 2009. Please e-mail all nominations to:
Gar Allen, Chair, Nominating Committee
