SCB North America: Call for Nominations

  • 1.  SCB North America: Call for Nominations

    Posted 08-21-2024 14:16
    Nominations are sought for the following positions until the completion of their current term:
    • Chapter Representative (1 year until term completion)
    • Member at Large (2 years until term completion)
     
     
    DEADLINE: August 30, 2024
    FINAL SELECTION: To be determined by the SCBNA Board of Directors in early September, 2024 (per our newly approved and revised bylaws).
     
    Nominees must be members in good standing with the Society for Conservation Biology as well as members of the North America Region. In addition, we encourage nominations of candidates from both the US and Canada to achieve geographic diversity in our board representation. 
     
    SCBNA is led by a board of directors that is nominated and elected by its members. We are especially interested in increasing equity and inclusion at all levels, including on the board, and we encourage nominations of individuals from historically underrepresented groups. Every board member attends one in-person meeting (financial support for travel is available) and 4-5 virtual SCBNA Board meetings per year plus performs committee work (e.g., meetings, writing). If cost of membership is a deterrent to nomination, the board will consider covering membership fees for successful nominees.
