[ICPSR] Call for ICPSR Council Nominations

[Margaret Levenstein]

Dear Colleagues,

As you are aware, the ICPSR Council
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/governance/council.html>
serves as the executive committee for ICPSR member institutions.  The
Council sets general policy for the Consortium, approves fees and budgets,
and performs other duties.  The Council consists of twelve members serving
four-year terms. Six new members are elected by the Official
Representatives every two years.

The Nominating Committee solicits your suggestions of persons with the
experience, ability, and wisdom to serve on the Council.  Responsibility
and willingness to serve are also vital.  The Council meets three times
each year, and members must devote time between meetings to review
materials and undertake committee tasks.

The best way for the Nominating Committee to prepare a strong slate is to
have suggestions from Official Representatives and other friends of the
Consortium.  We seek a diversity of people and perspectives.  You may
nominate someone from your own institution, or anyone you think is
qualified. All Council members must be affiliated with member
institutions.  Council members need not be current or former Official
Representatives, but they should be active supporters of the social and
behavioral science research enterprise.

The slate of six nominees will be announced to Official Representatives
during early fall 2019 during which there will also be an opportunity for
write-in nominations. Thereafter, the slate will be voted upon by
electronic ballot following the OR Meeting in October. Newly elected
members of Council will be seated at the first meeting of Council in 2020.

The Nominating Committee also nominates one of the continuing members to
serve a two-year term as Council Chair.  We welcome your suggestions about
who should serve in this position.

These are the members of the Nominating Committee (note that two others,
approved by the Council at its March 2019 meeting, will join the committee):

Christine Borgman, University of California, Los Angeles -
christine.borgman at ucla.edu

Jane Fry, Carleton University - jane.fry at carleton.ca

Elizabeth Groff, Temple University - elizabeth.groff at temple.edu

Michael Jones-Correa, University of Pennsylvania - mjcorrea at sas.upenn.edu

Verna Keith, University of Alabama at Birmingham - vmkeith at uab.edu

Robert Stine, University of Pennsylvania - stine at wharton.upenn.edu

You should feel free to communicate directly with the members of the
Nominating Committee (listed above), but it will help us if you send your
suggestions to a special email address we have created:

councilnominees at icpsr.umich.edu

In doing so, please provide a brief summary of the individual's
qualifications, and *make sure that the nomination reaches us by April 10,
2019.* It would also be very helpful if you explained in your nomination
why this person’s expertise would be valuable to ICPSR.

For your information, a list of the current members of the Council is below.

Thank you very much for your help with this important task.

Sincerely,

Maggie Levenstein

Director, ICPSR
