In conformity with past practices and current bylaws, the JPS Nominations Committee requests your assistance in identifying persons who might serve as future members of our Board of Directors. Some context: Each year, 5 members rotate off our 15-person Board and are replaced by a new cohort chosen in ways meant to insure that the group is reasonably balanced with respect to areas of research interest and other demographic considerations. The following is a list of current Board members. The members in the 2010?013 cohort will be rotating off the Board as of June 2013. The 2010?013 Board: Eric Amsel, Na’ilah Nasir, Bryan Sokol, Fred Strayer, & Cecilia Wainryb The 2011?014 Board: Nancy Budwig, Ayelet Lahat, Susan Rivera, Elliot Turiel, & Vera Maria Ramos de Vasconcellos The 2012?015 Board: Colette Daiute, Ashley Maynard, Larry Nucci, Martin Ruck, & Edd Taylor The Nominations Committee is charged with the responsibility of insuring sufficient continuity in the governance of the Society to guarantee its viability, and of identifying persons who have been active in the Society, or who are scholars in areas of special concern to the Society. Previous members of the Board can be re-nominated after a hiatus of one year. Therefore, those in the 2010?013 cohort are not eligible for this round of nominations. As a way of accomplishing these purposes we actively seek your advice and suggestions. If you would like to recommend one or more persons for possible inclusion in the 2013?016 Board, please forward your suggestions by October 15, 2012 to us at: saxe@berkeley.edu and nucci@berkeley.edu For each nomination, please make sure to state why you favor your nominee and comment briefly on the nominee’s scholarly contributions.
