[ATTW-L] Seeking Nominations for ATTW Vice-President & At-Large Members: Due May 21, 2021

[Jones, Natasha]

Dear ATTW members,



Every three years the ATTW membership elects a new vice president (who goes on to serve as president) and three members-at-large. As current ATTW Vice President, I am writing to solicit nominations for these positions (duties briefly outlined below). If you or another ATTW member you know would be a good candidate for any of these positions, please email your nomination(s) by May 21, 2021 to me at jonesn30 at msu.edu.



The nominating committee will finalize a slate of candidates by the end of May, and the election will transpire in early June.



I appreciate your interest in and suggestions for future ATTW leadership!



Natasha
