Month: January 2017

The ASCI is pleased to report the results of a recent ballot to the Active segment of the membership, which asked voters to approve the Council’s recommendations for membership nominees to be elected this year. The vote, audited and confirmed late last week, returned overwhelmingly in favor of the recommendations.

The ASCI will welcome 64 new members this year. This new class of members is a remarkable and accomplished group of physician-scientists representing a diverse range of disciplines, specialties, and institutions.

The Society is seeking nominations for four vacancies on the ASCI Council: Vice President (4-year term, spring 2017-2021) and three Councilor positions (3-year term, 2017-2020).

All Council members are expected to support the activities of and attend the ASCI annual meeting, and to participate in the general governance of the Society, including two in-person meetings (fall and spring, coordinate with the annual meeting), and conference calls (typically every other month). All Council members participate in the review of membership nominations.

The Vice President transitions to President-Elect in year 2 and President in year 3. For the 2nd through 4th years of this position, this member is expected to participate significantly in matters related to the Joint Meeting. In the Presidential year (year 3), the member convenes a face-to-face Council meeting and oversees related review processes for nominations, notably including those to membership. The President works closely with the Association of American Physicians to create the annual meeting program, and the member presents the traditional Presidential Address at the meeting. In year 4, the President transitions to Immediate Past President, serving as an advisor to the current President and with full Council responsibilities and privileges.

The Council is supported by an Executive Director, Managing Director, and other staff members who oversee the day-to-day operations of the Society and effect initiatives as directed by the Council.

Members who will be 55 or younger in 2020 are eligible for nomination. Nominations may be submitted online through February 14, 2017, at 11:59 PM EST and consist of a 250-word summary of accomplishments accompanied by an NIH-style brief biosketch (PDF only). If the nomination is intended for a specific vacancy, please note this in the nomination comments.

Members must submit nominations through their member accounts.
