SCB ELECTIONS

The following individuals were elected to the Board of Governors of the Society for Conservation Biology in the 2002 general election. A total of 551 ballots from 25 countries were received. The new Board members will begin their three-year terms of office at the end of the 2002 annual meeting.

Kathryn Saterson, Secretary
Paul Beier, Local Chapters
Bryan Norton, Humanities
Bruce Thompson, Member at Large

The 2002 election was the first in which online voting was offered. More than 80% of the ballots were submitted online.

Three positions will be open in the 2003 election

• President Elect
• Category 3 (botanical garden, zoological garden, public aquarium, or natural history museum)
• Category 4 (university or college)
  

By agreeing to stand for election, nominees indicate their willingness to serve SCB by attending, at their own expense, all Board of Governors meetings during their term of office (two years each for President Elect and President, three years for other officers). Board meetings occur at each annual meeting. They are scheduled at the beginning of the meeting (generally on the day prior to the first day of scientific sessions) and at the end of the meeting (generally on the last afternoon of the scientific sessions), and last for about 10 hours in total. Another Board meeting is held in February or March (location varies). In addition, Board members are expected to be actively engaged in directing SCB through committee work and by working with local chapters.

The deadline for nominations is 1 September 2002. Please send nominations, including the nomination category and complete contact information for the nominee, to Erica Fleishman, Center for Conservation Biology, Department of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-5020, efleish@stanford.edu.
