It's time to elect your GWIS committee chairs for next year (June 2021 - May 2022)!
In addition to organizing their own committee activities, GWIS committee chairs also form the GWIS Executive Board, which is responsible for managing the GWIS organization overall.

Each year, we accept nominations for all committee chair positions:
Advocacy
Communications
Diversity & Inclusion
Finance & Administration
Mentoring
Outreach

Rules for nominating:
- Please submit this form multiple times for multiple nominations.
- You can nominate yourself or another GWIS member. If you self-nominate, you must submit a platform on this form. If someone else nominates you, you will receive an email asking to submit a platform on this form (if you accept).
- Committee chair positions may be shared by two people as co-chairs. Co-chairs will be listed together on the voting ballot and should submit a single platform.
- Committee chairs from previous years may run for re-election, but are still required to submit platforms.
- No Executive Board member may hold more than one position on the board per term (e.g., an AY21-22 Outreach chair may not also be an AY21-22 Mentoring chair).

Deadlines:
By 3/5/2021 at 10:00pm ET: nominate yourself or others using this form
By 3/8/2021 at 10:00pm ET: all candidates must submit a platform using this form
