NOMINATIONS SOUGHT FOR 2014 EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTIONS

Good afternoon membership!  

Three positions on the Executive Board – President Elect, Vice-President for Conference Programs, and Secretary – come vacant at the 2015 annual meeting.  The Nominating Committee, co-chaired by Jeannine Keefer, University of Richmond and Jolene de Verges, Southern Methodist University, is actively seeking nominations for these positions.

Running for office is an excellent way to serve the Visual Resources Association, get to know more of your colleagues in the field, and give yourself the opportunity to grow professionally.  If you are interested in serving on the Executive Board, please feel free to contact previous Board Officers; they would be happy to share their experiences and reflections of their time in office.  The Committee encourages members to place qualified individuals or themselves in consideration for nomination by contacting one of the Co-Chairs.

For the first year the President Elect performs such duties as the President may assign until taking over the office as President. The President serves as the executive officer of the organization, oversees and coordinates the activities of the other officers and the committees, convenes the Executive Board meetings, and represents the organization.

The Vice President for Conference Programs serves as program coordinator for the annual conference, working with the Vice President for Conference Arrangements, the Secretary and the Public Relations and Communications Officer. 

The Secretary is in charge of conference pre-registration, keeps minutes of all VRA meetings and handles other official paperwork for the organization.

For more information please consult Articles III, IV, and V of the VRA Bylaws, which can be found on the VRA website. The VRA Organizational Policies and Procedures manual provides detailed descriptions of each office and may be found in the My VRA section (you must login to Memberclicks) of the VRA website under Community —> Info.
