Dear IRIS Community:

Elections for positions on the IRIS Board of Directors will be held during IRIS’s 2020 Annual Election this fall. The Board-appointed Nominations Committee consists of one current Board member and three community members:

Clifford Thurber, (Chair)
University of Wisconsin, Madison

Doug Wiens (Past Chair)
Washington University, St. Louis

Elections this year will be held three Director positions, each with a term of three years. Nominations (including self nominations) for these open positions are encouraged and should be sent to a member of the Nominations Committee by Tuesday, September 15th. We strongly encourage nominations that will expand the diversity and/or the disciplinary breadth of the IRIS Board.

The Directors whose terms expire this year are:
Samantha Hansen
Vera Schulte-Pelkum
Cliff Thurber (Vice Chair)

As described in the elections procedures of the IRIS By Laws, the Nominations Committee "shall prepare a slate of one or more nominees for each Director position to be filled.” Ballots with a list of candidates and details on the voting procedure will be sent to all Members Representatives in early November. Results of the election will be announced during the virtual IRIS Membership Meeting in early December.

Continuing Directors are:
Charles Ammon 2021
Rick Aster (Chair) 2022
Jackie Caplan-Auerbach 2023
Sarah Kruse 2023
Brandon Schmandt 2023
Susan Schwartz 2021
