CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 2023 SIGMA XI ELECTIONS
Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society, is seeking nominations for qualified candidates to fill positions for President-elect, Board of Directors, Committee on Nominations, and Associate Directors for representation of regions and constituencies for terms beginning July 1, 2024. The Board of Directors is principally responsible for managing the activities, property, and affairs of the Society in accordance with the policies established by the Assembly of Delegates. The Board of the Society simultaneously serves as the Board of the Corporation.
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. Sigma Xi seeks diverse and inclusive participation in all its elected and appointed positions. Sigma Xi’s elected positions are voluntary.
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.
