EarthScope Board of Directors Nominations and link to nominations form

[Wei, Songqiao]

Dear EarthScope Community,

Happy summer! In addition to being the best time for beach reading, field work, and writing research papers, summer is also the time when we get ready for our Board of Directors elections!

This year, we will elect a new Board Chair/Vice Chair, who will serve as the Vice Chair in 2027 and as the Chair from 2027 through 2029. In addition to this Chair/Vice Chair position, there will be three openings for Board members.

The nomination form on our governance page (https://www.earthscope.org/about/governance/) is always open. This page shows the current members, their terms, and, at the bottom, a link for self-nominations or nominations of others. You can nominate yourself or someone you think would help us with our mission, vision, and charges at any time.

Board nominations will be considered each year by our Nomination Committee, which selects a balanced election slate. Elections are conducted in the fall. Any nominations not advanced in a given year will be rolled to subsequent years.

We really want to make sure that as the facilities and the Consortium grow and evolve, to maintain our deep and rich interactions with our community. This means a central role for Advisory and Governance bodies, and an urgent need for your participation. Please consider getting involved or convincing your colleagues to do so!
