Misteli, Nunnari Run for ASCB President

Eight Candidates Seek Council Seats

The two nominees for ASCB President-Elect are Tom Misteli of the U.S. National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, and Jodi Nunnari of the University of California, Davis. The elected candidate will serve on the Society’s Executive Committee as President-Elect in 2017, ASCB President in 2018, and Past President in 2019.

Also on the ballot are eight candidates running for four Council seats. Those who are elected will start three-year terms on January 1, 2017.

The ballot also contains changes to the bylaws that have been approved by Council and now need to be approved by a majority of the ASCB membership. The proposed changes include giving graduate students the right to vote and adding a new category of membership for instructors at two-year institutions/community colleges and high school teachers.

ASCB will email a link to the Society’s electronic ballot to regular, postdoc, and emeritus members in mid-April. The election will close one month later, and results will be announced in the ASCB Newsletter and on the website.
