Elections

HFES Officer Nomination Process Under Way

By Ronald G. Shapiro, Nominations and Elections Committee Chair

     If you are a Full Member or Fellow, you should have already received your HFES nomination ballot for this year's election of officers.

     Think about who would make great HFES leaders, ask them if they would like to serve, and, if they agree, include their names on the ballot. If you think you would be a great HFES leader, add your own name and then ask your colleagues privately to support your nomination by doing the same. Nominate those individuals who would be willing to contribute the time, energy, and ideas to provide the best Society leadership going forward.

     If you missed Past President Paul Green's article in the January HFES Bulletin, you might like to read it before participating in the nominations process. Paul provided excellent recommendations on attributes to look for in potential candidates for HFES leadership positions and what is required from officeholders.

     Up to three candidates can be included for each of the offices of president-elect, secretary-treasurer-elect, and Executive Council at-large member. Be sure to sign the back of the return envelope to ensure your ballot is counted, and return the ballot so that it arrives by May 27.

     Those receiving the most nominations for each office, and who accept their nomination, will be placed on the election ballot, which will be sent to you in July. Every nomination counts!
