SCB ELECTION RESULTS
The following individuals were elected to the Board of Governors in the 2004 general election. A total of 711 ballots were received from members in 56 countries. Approximately 85% of the ballots were submitted online. The new Board members will begin their three-year terms of office at the end of the 2004 annual meeting.
Mary Rowen, Governmental Agency
Jon Paul Rodríguez, Nongovernmental Organization
Katrina Brandon, Social Sciences
Four positions will be open in the 2005 election
- President Elect
- Secretary
- Humanities
- Local Chapters
As always, these positions are open to nominees from any country. Nominees must be SCB members in good standing. By agreeing to stand for election, nominees indicate their willingness to serve SCB by attending, generally at their own expense, all Board of Governors meetings during their two year (President Elect, followed by two years as President) or three year (all other positions) term of office. Board meetings occur at each annual meeting. They are scheduled on the day prior to the first day of scientific sessions and during the meeting (rarely conflicting with concurrent sessions). Another Board meeting is held in February or March (location varies). In addition, Board members are expected to be actively engaged in directing SCB through committee work and by working with Sections and local chapters.
The deadline for nominations is 1 September 2004. Please send nominations, including the nomination category and complete contact information for the nominee, to Erica Fleishman, Center for Conservation Biology, Department of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-5020, USA, efleish@stanford.edu.
