DUE Jan 20, 2012
We invite all SANA to nominate a member or nominate your self for the two positions on the Spring 2012 Ballot. We need volunteers to run for President-elect and Board Member-at Large #3. All positions begin at the end of the annual AAA meetings, this year to be held in San Francisco, Dec. 2012.
President-elect is a two year term that evolves into a two year presidency. The term of president-elect is a learning one. It includes learning AAA section processes and commitments; serving on 2 standing SANA committees (Distinguished Career Prize) and Nominations, and being a ex-officio member of the St. Clair Drake Graduate Student Travel Awards, and Spring Conference Graduate Awards (when applicable). It is a spring-board position for the presidency.
Board Member #3 is a three-year term that requires participation on the governance of SANA, contributing to discussion, suggestion of projects and the implementation of those projects as they arise.
Please contact Jeff Maskovsky, SANA Nominations Committee Chair jeff.maskovsky@qc.cuny.edu or Lynn Bolles lbolles@umd.edu
The statement from the prize committee says about Professor Lewin:
“Her long career exemplifies her commitment to social justice and to the value of that extraordinary combination of doing superior research and scholarship, all the while being a teacher/administrator/activist in and outside of the academy.”
