Nominees are also needed for three members of the council to serve 2005-2009, for Program Officer for ISH07, as well as for Secretary and Treasurer. The latter two officers are eligible to succeed themselves. We encourage suggestions to the nominations committee.

The preliminary slate of candidates from the Nominations Committee will be announced in the spring on the listserv and the <http://www.ishpssb.org/>website, <http://www.ishpssb.org/>http://www.ishpssb.org/. Members will be invited to review the slate and submit their own nominations, if they desire to do so. The procedure to nominate others (or yourself) for any of the elected positions includes sending the name of the nominee, the position for which that individual is being nominated, a brief (100 word) biography, and the nominee's statement that she or he is willing to stand for election to the Chair of the Nominating Committee. To be included on the final slate, each nominee must receive two nominations for the same position from current members of the Society. The final date for such nominations and supporting material will be announced with the preliminary slate of candidates. The final slate of candidates will be mailed to members with supporting material and ballots in the spring newsletter. Be sure that your membership is up to date so that you will receive the printed newsletter.
