Call for AdCom Nominations

The IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Administrative Committee (ADCOM), which establishes the policy for the Society’s activities, has vacancies each year as the terms of elected members expire in rotation.

 

This year’s elections, for terms to begin 1 January 2013, will include the following geographic areas:

Asia Pacific
1 Representative (term beginning 1 January 2013, ending 31 December 2015)

Europe
2 Representatives (term beginning 1 January 2013, ending 31 December 2015)

North America (U.S.)
2 Representatives (term beginning 1 January 2013, ending 31 December 2015)

Student Representative
1 Representative (term beginning 1 January 2013, ending 31 December 2014)

Candidates are sought from all segments of the Society, including individuals from industry, universities and medical centers. To be eligible, a candidate must be a member, associate, or affiliate member of EMBS. The Nominating Committee initiates nominations.

Suggestions for nominations or self-nominations should be sent electronically to the EMB Executive Office attached with a 250 word biographical sketch and a 250-word position statement from the candidate as Word Documents in addition to a color photo (JPG).

Decisions about the final slate of candidates are the final responsibility of the Nominating Committee. However, EMBS By-Laws provide a mechanism to ensure that a particular candidate appears on the ballot: “A petition nominating a Society member in good standing and supported by the identifiable signatures of at least 2% of the Society members eligible to vote for that position on July 1st of the previous year, or a minimum of 5 members if 2% results in a smaller number, shall automatically cause that member's name to be placed on the ballot for the specified vacancy.”
