[ICPSR] Call for ICPSR Council Nominations

[Linda Detterman]

Dear Colleagues,

As you are aware, the ICPSR Council
<https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/pages/about/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 twice 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 in
early fall 2021 during which time there will also be an opportunity for
write-in nominations. Thereafter, the slate will be presented for approval
by electronic ballot following the Biennial ICPSR Meeting in October. Newly
elected members of Council will be seated at the first meeting of Council
in 2022.

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.

Outgoing Council with terms ending in 2022 are the members of the
Nominating Committee (note that two others, approved by the Council at its
April 2020 meeting, will join the committee):

   - Bobray Bordelon, Princeton University, bordelon at princeton.edu
   - Jon E. Cawthorne, Wayne State University, jon.cawthorne at wayne.edu
   - Lisa Cook, Michigan State University, lisacook at msu.edu
   - Lindsey Malcom-Piqueux, California Institute of Technology,
   malcom at caltech.edu
   - Katherine Wallman, US Office of Management & Budget,
   katherinekwallman at gmail.com
   - Esther Wilder, Lehman College, City University of New York,
   ESTHER.WILDER at lehman.cuny.edu

We have established a Google Form for your nomination submissions:
https://forms.gle/BHfHNaQnxvzqTa9z8  *Make sure that the nomination reaches
us by April 9, 2021.*

You should also feel free to communicate directly with the members of the
Nominating Committee (listed above), or you may send your comments to a
