The 2023 SAA Election will take place next month. Fourteen candidates are vying for the offices of Vice President/President-Elect, Council, and Nominating Committee. Meet the candidates: read each candidate's brief bio, diversity statement, and response to the questions posed by this year's Nominating Committee.
The candidate elected Vice President will serve a one-year term beginning in August 2023 and then will become SAA’s 80th President in 2024–2025. There are three available seats on the Council; those elected will serve three-year terms beginning in August and running through the 2026 Annual Meeting. The three candidates elected to the 2024 Nominating Committee will serve one-year terms beginning immediately.
Questions were developed by SAA's 2023 Nominating Committee: Louis Jones (chair), Jessica Neal, Brittany Newberry, and Council members Stephen Curley and Rachel Winston. Each candidate prepared a diversity statement according to SAA guidelines.
