Call for Nominations for the CES Officers 2010-2011 Dear CES Members: 
 
It’s the time of the year we are calling for nominations for a new CES president-elect 
and six board directors. The president-elect will assume office from September 1, 
2011 to August 31, 2012. The board of directors will work with President Yanling 
Wang from September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2011. The CES Nomination and Election 
Committee (NEC) consists of three immediate former-presidents as voting members and 
the current president-elect as a non-voting member.  The NEC oversees the nomination 
and election process. 
 
The general procedure is as follows: 
(1)   To be eligible for President, a candidate must have been a Member of CES for 
more than two years, must have served as a member of the Board of Directors for at 
least one term, and must work primarily in North America during the presidential term.
(2)   Anyone with valid CES membership can be nominated to serve as a board director. 
The majority of the Board of Directors must work primarily in North America during 
their term.
(3)   CES members can nominate one candidate for president-elect and no more than 
six candidates for the board of directors. The nominator must have the consent of 
the nominee for the nomination. Any candidate on the ballot for the election must 
be nominated by at least two CES members. If you are interested in serving, or know 
someone that is willing and qualified, please contact the NEC (wanghong@purdue.edu).  
 
All nominations must be received by May 12, Wednesday.  The NEC will be in contact 
with nominees for their Bio and Statement before presenting a list of candidacy to 
the CES membership for consideration.  We would like to urge all of you to participate 
in the election. Your active involvement is important to the success of the CES. 
 
Thank you.  
 
Sincerely,
