WTS Members: Self-Nominations Encouraged for STS Leadership Positions

During his Presidential Address at the STS 44th Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, John E. Mayer, Jr., MD, announced that STS is encouraging self-nominations for appointed positions on STS Standing Committees and Workforces. He called upon STS members to "think about areas where you can make a contribution and then volunteer."

The Society is currently developing a Web-based process for submitting self-nominations, which will be online at www.sts.org beginning September 1, 2008. Appointments to positions on STS leadership bodies are approved annually by the STS Executive Committee, usually at its December meeting. The majority of STS leadership positions are for three-year terms, renewable on a one-time basis.

For questions about the STS leadership structure and the self-nomination process, contact STS Senior Manager, Governance and Information Technology, Grahame Rush at (312) 202-5848 or grush@sts.org.
