We encourage you to support WIF by becoming a candidate yourself or contacting another member about running for one of the open positions.

 

Colette Trout (ctrout@ursinus.edu) and Annabelle Rea (rea@oxy.edu) are now accepting nominations for the 2021 WIF elections, to be held late in the fall.

The four offices open:
President, Vice-President, and two Regional Representatives

1. South Atlantic (SAMLA): Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia; Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands

and 2. Western United States and Western Canada (PAMLA): Alaska, California, Hawai’i, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington; British Columbia.  Candidates for Regional Representative should reside in the region they wish to represent.

You may nominate yourself or another, after seeking the permission of that person.
We ask that candidates send their statements, outlining their qualifications and their goals for WIF, for publication in the Fall Newsletter, to both members of the Nominating Committee, at the latest by July 15, 2021.
Please note that there is a 100-word limit for candidate statements (this is an overall limit, including both qualifications and goals). The President and Vice-President will serve two-year terms; Regional Representatives remain in place for three years.

Responsibilities of these offices:

The President serves as liaison with the MLA and presides over the WIF Business Meeting and the WIF Executive Committee meeting held during the MLA Annual Meeting. S/he corresponds with the Executive Committee concerning items of business, and with the membership, as questions arise. S/he coordinates all WIF activities.

The Vice-President assists the President; together, they decide the allocation of responsibilities between them. In addition to assisting the President, the Vice-President is traditionally responsible for recruiting and editing the teaching bibliographies in the bi-annual newsletter, coordinating the WIF Mentoring Program, as well as setting up the MLA business meeting and reception. The Vice-President is normally expected to become a candidate to succeed the President at the end of her/his term of office.

Regional Representatives serve as liaisons with the Regional MLAs, organizing and overseeing, in particular, the WIF sessions and social events. They publicize WIF and its activities to colleagues in their respective regions to recruit new members.
