IAFA 2007 Election
Members in good standing of the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts are automatically subscribed to a members-only list (iafa-members). This list is used to conduct IAFA business that affects only the current members of the association, including the election of officers to the Executive Board.
The current President and First Vice President of IAFA complete their terms of service immediately following this year's conference in March, to be replaced by a new President and First Vice President. Recently, statements by the candidates for these positions were circulated on the members-only list and posted to the Newsletter blog.
Within the next day or so, all members in good standing should receive a ballot, sent to the iafa-members list. This ballot provides instructions for returning your ballot with your vote for these positions. The candidates are
for President: Farah Mendlesohn
ror 1VP: Donald Palumbo and Christine Mains
IAFA members have the option of choosing from among the candidates listed, or writing in the name of another IAFA member who meets the eligibility for the position, or of indicating their refusal to vote for the candidates offered.
The deadline for submitting the ballot is February 15, 2007.
Questions regarding the technical issues of participating in the election, including not receiving the ballot through the members-only list, should be directed to Len Hatfield at Len.Hatfield AT vt.edu. More general concerns about the elections process should be directed to the Immediate Past President as chair of the Elections Committee, who is Bill Senior at wsenior AT broward.edu.
