[Vision Sciences Society]

Nominations are open for two 4-year positions on the Vision Sciences Society
Board of Directors. The Board's responsibilities include scheduling the
Annual Meeting, implementing and monitoring VSS policies, budget oversight,
and other organizational activities. The Board meets twice a year, during
the Annual Meeting and in late January.

Any regular VSS member in good standing may be nominated, with the exception
of individuals now on the board, or who have served on the board within the
last four years.

NOMINATION PROCEDURE:
Each nomination must be endorsed by 3 regular VSS members. One person should
email the nomination to  <mailto:shauneywilson at visionsciences.org>
shauneywilson at visionsciences.org with a cc: to the other two nominators. The
other two nominators should indicate their endorsement by forwarding the
nominating email to  <mailto:shauneywilson at visionsciences.org>
shauneywilson at visionsciences.org. Please include a recent vita and a short
paragraph describing the qualifications of the nominee, as well as an
assurance that the nominee is willing to serve.

SELECTION OF SLATE OF CANDIDATES: (

The VSS bylaws provide for a Nominating Committee, composed of VSS members
who are highly respected scientists chosen to represent the broad range of
disciplines representative of VSS members (the VSS President chairs the
Nominating Committee). The current members of the Nominating Committee are
Randolph Blake, David Burr, Heinrich Bueltoff, Lynne Kiorpes, and Karl
Gegenfurtner. For each open Director position, the Nominating Committee
selects from the nominees a slate of two candidates who are highly respected
scientists and who, when added to the Board of Directors, would result in
broad representation of the disciplines representative of VSS members.
