Elections Committee Report 2020

María Belén Albornoz (Chair), Joan Fujimura, Roopali Phadke, Hsin Hsing Chen, Bryn Seabrook, Katie Ulrich

This year, the Council had 4 member vacancies to fill from normal annual turnover. Following the same procedure as last year, we canvassed 4S members and Council for possible nominees and we received 17 nominations for Council.

The elections committee submitted for the consideration of the Council an election slate of ten nominees, which included 5 women from Oceania, Europe, and Latin America, and 5 men from North America, Asia and Europe. We were asked to reduce the list of nominations and the committee put forward a final slate of 8 candidates that represented different areas of expertise, regions and seniority.

Elected new Council Members for 2020-2023: Emma Kowal, Vivette García-Deister, Chihyung Jeon, and Maka Suárez.
