2011-2012 ASIL Leadership Positions
The 2011-2012 Nominating Committee chaired by ASIL Past President Charles N. Brower requests nominations of individuals from among ASIL members for the offices described below that will become vacant as of the March 2012 Annual Meeting. The Committee welcomes nominations from Society members wishing to express their own willingness to serve, as well as nominations by Society members of other members.
The Nominating Committee takes its direction from the Society's "Guidelines for the ASIL Nominating Committee," which every candidate and prospective nominator should review.

The Committee will seek to nominate those who have evidenced a willingness to contribute time and effort to the work of the Society, while endeavoring also to enhance the diversity of the Society’s leadership.
ASIL Vice Presidents: A member of the Executive Council and the Executive Committee, ASIL Vice Presidents serve for one-year terms that are usually renewed once. Those who have served as Vice President form the pool from which Presidents-Elect of the Society normally are nominated. Vice Presidents generally take the lead in overseeing a major ASIL activity or program. Two vacancies are expected for 2012, one to be drawn from among academics and one to be drawn from among practitioners.
Members of the Executive Council: The Executive Council is the Society’s chief governing body, and Council members are expected to provide leadership to one or more of ASIL’s programs or activities. It meets twice a year—once in early November and once in March during the Annual Meeting. Members are elected to three-year terms and are expected to attend meetings of the Executive Council. Eight vacancies are expected in 2012.
Required information. The Nominating Committee requests that those nominating candidates for Vice President or Executive Council (or the candidates themselves) submit an updated resume of the candidate and a one- or two-page statement from the candidate that sets out the candidate’s ideas on the Society, its programs, and the candidate’s potential contribution to its work. Resumes should include a description of any prior ASIL service. Nominations should also include a list of references (and their contact information), whom the Nominating Committee may wish to contact for further information about the candidate. The Nominating Committee neither encourages nor expects to receive further letters in support of particular nominees beyond the single letter of nomination.
Counsellors: Non-voting members of the Executive Council, ASIL Counsellors are chosen from among the more senior members of the Society. Counsellors are invited and expected to attend the two Executive Council meetings per year and serve three-year terms. Up to eight vacancies are expected in 2012.
