MacDonald, Moyer, Correll,
and Ellis in First APS Online Officer Election
 |  |  |  |
| James D. McDonald | James W. Moyer | James C. Correll | Michael A. Ellis |
The APS officer election is upon us, and it is time
to vote for new APS officers, but this year casting your vote includes
the benefits of technology. For the first time, APS is offering
members the ability to vote online. Candidates
James D. MacDonald, University of California-Davis, and James
W. Moyer, North Carolina State University, have graciously
accepted the responsibility of running for election as APS vice
president. Likewise, James C. Correll, University of Arkansas,
and Michael A. Ellis, Ohio State University-OARDC, have agreed
to stand for election as councilor-at-large. Profiles on all of the
candidates are available for your review on pages 56-59.
The new online process is designed
to increase voter participation and also save the society time and
money. An e-mail message was sent to all members on May 1, 2002, with
instructions for voting online. Those members without an e-mail on
file at APS Headquarters were sent letters with instructions. We
encourage all members to take a few minutes and vote online, simply go
to http://www.gosbs.com/aps2002election enter your member number and
personalized e-signature for validation, and cast your vote. Ballots
must be submitted by May 31, 2002. All votes are confidential.
Your contribution is essential to the success of this process—so
vote today!
Nominations were received from the
members of the society. The Nominating Committee, which consists of
the intermediate councilor-at-large as chair and the division
councilors, selected candidates from these nominees using the
procedures described in the APS Manual of Operations. APS Council
shall declare the officers elected based on a plurality vote. Results
of the election will be announced in the July issue of Phytopathology
News and on APSnet.
