Elections 2008

Once again, members wiill electe a new president and board of directors to carry out the Association's work during the biennium FY2009-2010. To facilitate the process and insure transparency and fairness, we provided early information and encourage members to become familiar with the rules governing the process (see ASCE’s by-laws that are available in our website) and to vote ASAP. Dr. Roger Betancourt is serving as the Chair of Nominations Committee.

In April 2008, the Association's Secretary will provide members with official ballots, instructions, and information about the candidates. Voted ballots are to be received until June 15, 2008. Votes will be counted and certified by the Tellers Committee that will render an official report to the membership during the business meeting of the annual ASCE Conference scheduled for August 6, 2008. Notwithstanding this requirement, election winners will be announced by e-mail after the Tellers Committee completes its task and informs to the Board of Directors. The new Board, however, will only assume their elected positions after the members annual business meeting on August 6, 2008.

The Board of Directors will consist of ten persons, not including the President and the immediate past President, who remains in the Board as Vice-President.
