[Richard Jacobs]

Hello ARCOS Members!

On behalf of the ARCOS Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce that at that annual conference in Las Vegas, we will be electing one new member for our current open board position, Member-at-Large, along with electing a new President-Elect and Treasurer-Elect for the Executive Board of Directors.

Member-at-Large (1 position):

Will begin a five-year term at the conclusion of the March 2023 meeting.

President-Elect (1 position):

Will begin a two-year term, leading to President (2 years) and Immediate Past President (2 years), at the conclusion of the March 2023 meeting.  Note that the President-Elect will be selected from current ARCOS Board of Directors members.

Treasurer-Elect (1 position):

Will begin a one-year term, overlapping with the current Treasurer’s third year. The Treasurer shall serve a term of three years, including first year as Treasurer-Elect.  The Treasurer-Elect must be current member of the ARCOS Board of Directors.  The Treasurer-Elect will also be selected from current ARCOS Board of Directors members.

Board of Directors:

The Board of Directors (BOD) consists of 11 volunteer members. Each member is elected to a term of five years. This five-year term may be extended as needed, if elected to an executive position. The BOD will consist of six members-at-large elected from membership (this includes the treasurer-elect), and the executive board consisting of past president, president, president-elect, secretary, and treasurer

•        A new member begins their term at the end of the annual meeting from which they were elected until they are replaced by a newly elected member after 5 years.

Please see ARCOS Policies and Procedures page 3 form more details regarding serving on the Board of Directors.

• Current curriculum vitae
• A photo
• Letter of financial support from their program director and/or chairman to participate in-person at both the plenary in Rosemont, IL, and the annual                    meetings for the five-year term.

All documents should be submitted via email to me at weingaka@ucmail.uc.edu

Voting will take place during the week of the Annual ARCOS Conference in Las Vegas in March 2023 via the website so that all members may cast their vote.  The new board members will be announced on the final day of the conference.
