Call for Nominations - Electron Devices Society Administrative Committee

The Electron Devices Society of the IEEE invites the submission of nominations for election to its Administrative Committee (AdCom). Presently, the AdCom meets twice per year and is composed of22 members. Seven members will be elected this year for a term of three years, and a maximum of two consecutive terms is allowed. In 2004, the election will be held after the AdCom meeting on Sunday, 12 December. Electees begin their term in office on 1 January 2005. For your information, the nominees do not need to attend the AdCom Meeting/Election to run. Nominees are being sought to fill the slate of candidates. Nominees maybe self-nominated, or may be nominated by another person; in the latter case, the nominee must have been contacted and have agreed to serve if elected. Any member of EDS in good standing is eligible to be nominated. As another condition for nomination and election, a nominee is expected to attend the two annual AdCom meetings. In general, the travel and accommodation costs to attend these meetings are borne by the elected member. In 2003, EDS made changes to its Constitution and Bylaws to require that at least one elected AdCom member is a Graduate ofthe Last Decade (GOLD member). A GOLD member is defined by IEEE as a member who graduated with his/her first professional degree within the last ten years. We encourage and are looking forward to receiving nominations from EDS members in this category.
