CANDIDATES SOUGHT FOR ELECTED ADCOM MEMBERS

Are you interested in helping to run the NPSS? The NPSS AdCom (Administrative Committee) is the body that “runs” the NPSS, which includes setting the policies for all of the conferences and publications that the NPSS sponsors. Each year we hold elections for approximately one quarter of the sixteen elected AdCom positions. This summer we will be holding elections for AdCom members elected from three NPSS communities: Plasma Science (the community that puts on ICOPS), Nuclear Medical and Imaging Sciences (the community that puts on MIC), and Transnational (a geographically-based rather than technically-based community). These are four-year terms that begin on January 1, 2009. In general, the requirements are that you are a member of both the IEEE and the NPSS (which basically includes everybody who receives this Newsletter) and that you have an interest in one of those five technical areas. If you are interested in running for one of these positions, you must let me know (wwmoses@lbl.gov) by July 1 of this year. You will be asked to submit a 200-word biography plus a 200-word position statement. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need more information.
