Elections 2024
QRSE President Elections
Dear QRSE members,
We are coming up to the QRSE election for President and are therefore seeking self-nominations to serve in this capacity, as the leader of QRSE Executive Board. The President serves 1 year as President-Elect, 2 years as President, and 1 year as Past-President (4 years in total). The roles and responsibilities for the position can be found in the QRSE bylaws on the 'About' QRSE webpage, as can details of the election in the ‘Election Process’ tile.
As indicated on the QRSE website, “to be eligible to self-nominate all nominees must have maintained a membership of QRSE for a minimum of 2 consecutive years.” However, if there is a case where a potential candidate does not meet this requirement, the Executive Board may determine that there should be a one-time exemption from this requirement. Nominations and all materials, submitted via E-Mail to qrsesoc@gmail.com, are due Friday December 6, 2026.
Self-nominations should be accompanied by a curriculum vitae (4-pages maximum) and brief (2-pages maximum) statement consisting of the following information:
· Any QRSE committee or leadership involvement
· A rationale for the nomination
· A vision statement that speaks to where should QRSE focus its’ efforts in that term and beyond, and how you can assist and lead our direction?
These statements will accompany the voting ballot to support current paid members in decision-making.
Once self-nominations are received, the Elections Officer (on behalf of the E-board) will create and email ballots to all current paid members with an invitation to vote. Whether you are an early career scholar or a senior faculty member, we hope that you take this opportunity to vote!
This is an exciting step forward for the society. If you have any questions about self-nominations or the elections process, please consult the election process information on the QRSE website in the first instance, and feel free to send an email to: qrsesoc@gmail.com
Thanks for your consideration and willingness to serve in this important capacity on the QRSEsoc Executive Board. We look forward to seeing you all at the QRSE2028 in Adelaide, Australia at Flinders University!
Dr. Bryan Clift QRSE Elections Officer
