Call for Nominations: Governing Council Election

ISA is soliciting nominations for the Non-North American members-at-large for the 2010-2011 term. Each year the International Studies Association elects three Non-North American members-at-large to our Governing Council for a two-year term, staggering the terms of office for the six representatives. Any ISA member may nominate a Non-North American ISA member to serve on the Governing Council; however, only Non-North American ISA members may vote in the election. Nominees must be individual ISA members residing outside of the United States and Canada. When nominating please determine that the nominee is willing to stand for election and serve if elected. Representatives are required to attend the ISA 2011-2012 Governing Council Meetings during the Annual Conventions. Please solicit nominees, or nominate yourself, for these three members-at-large positions. Contact information for both the nominator and the nominee should be included. Nominations may be made here. ISA Headquarters will accept nominations until November 16, 2009

ISA Officer Nominations

The International Studies Association Nominating Committee invites members of the Association to nominate officers for the 2010-2011 period, including a president and three vice-presidents, each of whom will serve a one-year term.  Criteria for officers are professional distinction and past involvement in and knowledge of ISA.  Nominations should contain: (1) a detailed letter that addresses these points and (2) a current vita for the candidate.  Nominations should also have the prior approval of the candidate.  ISA is committed to diversity in its officers in terms of their theoretical and methodological perspectives, geographical location, gender, and ethnicity.  THE DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS IS MAY 15, 2008. Please address nominations to the Nominating Committee Chair, Michelle Benson, at mbenson@buffalo.edu.

Officer Election

The ISA Nominating Committee is proud to nominate Thomas Weiss for President of ISA for 2009-2010. We also nominate Mark Boyer, Sandra Halperin and Ido Oren as Vice Presidents of ISA for the same time period. Our line-up is based on a careful consideration of three criteria: a) scholarly work, b) past contributions to ISA, and c) diversity in terms of theoretical and methodological perspectives, geographical location, and gender and ethnicity. ISA members will receive e-mail ballots today to be returned by December 7th. You may review the information submitted by the candidates here. Thank you.
