IASE Nominations 2017-2019

Dear IASE members,

I am pleased to announce that the Exec has appointed Dr. Iddo Gal, IASE's Past-President, to Chair an independent 5-person Nominations Committee that will go on with the task of nominating a

President-Elect and VPs for the 2017-2019 term. The Exec has asked the Chair and committee to

• consider names from all possible sources, i.e., nominations (people proposed by other IASE members), self-nominations, or ideas from the committee itself, and
• make efforts to nominate persons with proven leadership skills and a range of backgrounds, representing as much as possible the diverse communities of research and practice in statistics education internationally.

We call upon IASE members who want to nominate others or to self-nominate themselves for the 2017-2019 term, to write no later than Dec 1, 2016 directly to Committee Chair, Iddo Gal (and only to him) at: iddo@research.haifa.ac.il. Please include brief supporting information or enough details that will enable the committee to understand the basis for the nomination or self-nomination. Please start such emails to Iddo with a Subject line: "IASE nominations - suggestions from [name]" to make sure they get due attention.

The Committee will keep full confidentiality regarding all emails it receives. The Committee will consider all proposals that reach it by Dec 1, 2016, ask the nominees they are considering to write a short statement responding to some questions about the potential of their involvement on the Executive Committee and then embark on its deliberations.

When and to whom to write?

You are invited to send the nomination no later than Dec 1, 2016 directly to Committee Chair, Iddo Gal (and only to him) at: iddo@research.haifa.ac.il with a Subject line: "IASE nominations - suggestions from [name]".

Regards,

Andrej Blejec
