CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 2022 SIGMA XI ELECTIONS
Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society, is seeking nominations for qualified candidates to fill the president-elect, director, and associate director positions, and representation of regions and constituencies on the Committee on Nominations. Self-nominations are welcomed.
Sigma Xi’s candidates and elected leaders are volunteers and are expected to meet the commonly held standards of professional ethics and scientific integrity and will be asked to sign Sigma Xi’s Code of Ethical Conduct to this effect.
Only active full members of the Society are eligible to run for office. An inactive member may become active at any time through payment of current dues.
