nominations for offices

[D.J. Hatfield]

Dear members of the SEM Sound Studies Section

I sent out this message about a week or so ago, but thought that I might resend. 

In order to start up running as a section, we need to fill in our offices and committees (responsibilities described below). Please nominate yourself or others! The work is not nearly as hard as you might think at first....

------

At the annual meetings, Davindar and I asked who might be willing to fill offices and committees; it's now time to begin the process of nominations and electing our new officers. Although normally the chair and member-at-large will be elected in even years, we will elect a new chair and member-at-large to serve one-year terms this time around (normally, the terms are two year terms), as well as electing a secretary for a two-year term. As former co-chairs, Davindar and I will remain active in an advisory capacity

Please nominate yourself or others to the following positions:

Chair

Secretary 

Member-at-Large

Communications Committee (i.e., tech czars: 2-3 members)

Curatorial Committee (3 members)

Conference Panel Committee (3 members)

A description of the responsibilities of each are below. We welcome nominations of people at various stages of their career, from different sorts of institutions, and with different takes on sound studies. So don't be shy!

Best

DJ
