OFFICER AND STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS -- THE
CHOICE IS YOURS We
are once again in the midst of our annual elections. This year the
members will elect candidates for the ISCB Officer positions of
President Elect and Vice President, plus the Student Council
leadership positions of Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, and
Representative to the ISCB Board of Directors. All members are
highly encouraged to participate in the process by casting their
online ballots from the privacy of their homes or research
labs/offices, or, if attending ISMB 2013 in Berlin, by visiting the
"voting booth" adjacent to the ISCB booth in the exhibition area.
The online voting site opened on July 9th, and can be accessed at
www.iscb.org/elections until the close of ISMB/ECCB 2013 on July
23rd. Members simply login to the elections site and vote for their
candidates of choice. The voting booth is intended to make the
activity of voting as inviting and easy as possible, and each voter
will walk away with a sense that they participated in an important
aspect of their ISCB membership by helping to select our future
leaders.The Officer election results require ratification by the ISCB Board of Directors, as per the Society's bylaws. This year we will do this through a special process in August (the Board does not typically meet in August), with the final outcome announced via the ISCB home page shortly thereafter. Be sure to visit www.iscb.org by the end of August to see if your chosen candidates have won. Most importantly, we thank you in advance for your participation!  |
