On 1 September, ICA members will begin voting for association-wide and Division/Interest Group officers. As in years past, the vote will take place using an online-only ballot that is easy to use, expense free, and green. This form of balloting has generated increasingly high voter turnout since its introduction in the 2005 ICA elections.
Polls will remain open until 12 October.
To access the ballot from the ICA website (http://www.icahdq.org), members will need their ICA login name and password. Members, please make sure that ICA has your correct e-mail address so that the association can send you an announcement of the election and a link to the ballot. The ICA website allows you to personally verify, correct, and/or update the information.
The association-wide elections include the 1-year term for President-Elect-Select. Candidates for the position are Michael Slater (Ohio State U) and Peter Vorderer (U of Mannheim).
Members will also have the chance to elect the Board Member-at-Large for the Americas (non-U.S.) for a 3-year term. Candidates for this position are Boris Brummans (U de Montréal) and Sonia Virginia Moreira (INTERCOM - Brazilian Society of Interdisciplinary Studies in Communication).
The last of the association-wide ballots is for a 2-year term as Student Board Member: Anne Kaun (Södertörn U) and Sada Reed (U of Minnesota).
Divisional candidates, along with statements for the presidential candidates, will appear in the September issue of the Newsletter. All other statements will appear on the ICA home page.
