POSITIONS

President & Steering Committee

Each year, in conformance to our by-laws, the ACADIA membership elects a new President and elects or re-elects five (5) Steering Committee members and up to three alternates.

As ACADIA is a volunteer organization, the President and Steering Committee establish the policies and activities of the organization and perform many administrative tasks to support member services, the annual Conference, the website, and publications. The officers of ACADIA must be dedicated and capable. Election to a position as an officer is not only an honor but an expression of confidence in the candidate's ability to lead and manage.

IJAC Editorial Board

In accordance with a policy adopted by the Steering Committee in 2006, we will be electing four (4) new ACADIA members to two year terms on the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Architectural Computing (IJAC). Service on the Editorial Board will begin the January following election and continue for two (2) years, during which time the member is expected to maintain their membership status.

NOMINATION PROCESS

President & Steering Committee

Any ACADIA member in good standing may be a candidate for one of these positions, or for a position on both the Steering Committee and the Editorial Board, with one exception: members of the Elections Committee may not stand for election to the Presidency. Each candidate to a Steering Committee position should be nominated by at least three members in good standing. Self-nominations are permitted; in that case only two additional nominations are needed. Steering Committee members whose terms of service expire in the election year are eligible for re-election.

IJAC Editorial Board

Nominations to the Editorial Board do not require additional "seconds".

Submitting a nomination

You may submit nominations via email to any of the Elections Committee members (see below). Nominees will be asked to prepare and submit a brief election statement.

Deadlines

The deadline for 2011 nominations is February 22, 2011.

Election

The election will be conducted March via the web. Only members in good standing at the time of the election will be eligible to vote. To check your standing, login to the Cameo system using your CAMEO id and password (follow the link if you've forgotten), and it will show you. The election results are announced in April.

You can often renew/join for the current year as late as early March and participate in the election cycle, but sooner is better!

We appreciate your enthusiastic participation in the elections process.
