ASN Seeks Nominations for the Annual Election of the ASN Council
The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) seeks nominations for the annual election of the ASN Council, the society's governing board. Qualified candidates should have the vision, experience, and expertise to guide the society in leading the fight against kidney diseases.
With the change to the society's bylaws in 2016, this year's election is for both an At-Large Councilor and an Executive Councilor.
The At-Large Councilor will serve a single four-year term. After serving as At-Large Councilor, this individual is eligible to run again as an Executive Councilor.
The Executive Councilor will serve a single four-year term. The Executive Councilor will hold the office of:
- Secretary (first year)
- President-Elect (second year)
- President (third year)
- Past President (fourth year)
Any member who serves as Executive Councilor is not eligible to run again as an At-Large Councilor.
Nomination submissions should consist of 1) an online application 2) the curriculum vitae of the nominated ASN member and 3) a brief nomination letter (one to three paragraphs) with no more than 3 signatories. Please note that current ASN Councilors and members of the ASN Nominating Committee are prohibited from co-signing nominations. ASN is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion at all levels of the society, including councilors.
