2006 Elections for APS Office Include Candidates Moyer, Murray, Moorman, and Sutton

APS officer candidates James W. Moyer, North Carolina State University, and Timothy D. Murray, Washington State University, have graciously accepted the responsibility of running for election as APS vice president. Likewise, Gary W. Moorman, The Pennsylvania State University, and Turner B. Sutton, North Carolina State University, have agreed to stand for election as councilor-at-large. Profiles on all of the candidates are available for your review beginning on page 56.
 

The APS Officer Election will be conducted online. APS members were sent a broadcast e-mail with instructions for voting online on May 1, 2006. Those members without an e-mail address on file at APS headquarters were sent letters with instructions. We encourage all members to take a few minutes and cast your vote. Ballots must be submitted by May 31, 2006. All votes are confidential.
 

Nominations were received from APS members. The Nominating Committee, which consists of the intermediate councilor-at-large as chair and the division councilors, selected candidates from the nominees using the procedures described in the APS Manual of Operations. APS Council will 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.
 

Your contribution is essential to the success of this process—so vote today!
