The Nominations and Elections Committee is pleased to announce the opening of the 2021 TEI-C Elections. Results will be announced at the 2021 Members’ Meeting, which will be held at 11 a.m. Eastern Time (US) on October 27. The Zoom URL for the meeting will be distributed on October 20.
This year (2021), TEI Members will hold an election to fill six open positions on the TEI Technical Council (four for 3-year terms, two for a 1-year term) and two on the TEI Board of Directors (for 3-year terms).
The following persons have been nominated and have agreed to stand as candidates for election to the TEI Technical Council and the TEI Board. They have each supplied a statement with two parts:
- a candidate statement explaining their reasons for wishing to serve on the Board or Technical Council and what their particular goals would be.
- a biographical description focusing on their education, training, research, etc., relevant to the TEI.
We are really excited to have candidates from so many different regions!
