EDS AdCom Call for Nominations

The Electron Devices Society of the IEEE invites the submission of nominations for election to its Administrative Committee (AdCom). Presently, the AdCom meets twice per year and is composed of 22 members. Seven members will be elected this year for a term of three years, and a maximum of two consecutive terms is allowed. In 2009, the election will be held after the AdCom meeting on Sunday, 6 December. Electees begin their term in office on 1 January 2010. For your information, the nominees do not need to attend the AdCom Meeting/Election to run.

Nominees are being sought to fill the slate of candidates. Nominees may be self nominated, or may be nominated by another person; in the latter case, the nominee must have been contacted and have agreed to serve if elected. Any member of EDS in good standing is eligible to be nominated. As another condition for nomination and election, a nominee is expected to attend the two annual AdCom meetings. In general, the travel and accommodation costs to attend these meetings are borne by the elected member.

New Requirement for 2009! All nominees must be endorsed by one 'full' voting member, i.e., one of the four officers (President, President-Elect, Treasurer or Secretary), the Jr. or Sr. Past President or one of the 22 current AdCom Members-at-Large. The endorser needs to submit an e-mail to Laura Riello (l.riello@ieee.org) stating that they would like to endorse the candidate.

Please send your nominee's name, address, and supporting information to the EDS Executive Office Administrator, Laura J. Riello in time to be received by the deadline of 15 October 2009. It is very desirable that submissions include a biographical summary in a standard two page format. The EDS Executive Office can provide you with an example of the format. If you have any questions regarding the nomination requirements or process, feel free to contact the Nominations and Elections Chair:

The deadline for submission of nominations is 15 October 2009.
