The Nominating Committee for the AERA Special Interest Groups (SIG) Executive Committee seeks recommendations for well-qualified candidates to run for two positions as member-at-large in the 2024 election. Each member-at-large will serve a three-year term.

Per AERA’s bylaws, the SIG Executive Committee provides general oversight for the operations of SIGs and makes recommendations to AERA Council regarding their establishment or dissolution. The SIG Executive Committee also recommends policies and procedures for the formation, operations, and dissolution of SIGs for Council review and approval. Upon approval of these policies and procedures by Council, the SIG Executive Committee has responsibility for their implementation. In addition to providing oversight and being concerned with policies and procedures, the SIG Executive Committee functions to promote the welfare of SIGs within the association. The members of the SIG Executive Committee (except for the chair) also serve as members of the Presidential Program Committee, which helps plan the Presidential program for the Annual Meeting.

All recommendations must be received by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday, September 14, 2023. Any current AERA member who is a member of at least one SIG may advance recommendations. Individuals may recommend themselves as candidates.

Recommendations can be submitted here.

Nominees will be announced in December, and the election will launch in early January 2024. Those elected will take office on April 15, after the conclusion of the place-based component of the 2024 Annual Meeting.
