CALL FOR CIES NOMINATIONS
July 1, 2005

Dear CIES Colleagues:

The CIES Nominations and Elections Committee calls for nominations for Board of
Directors and Vice-Presidential candidates. The job of this committee is to present CIES
members with two candidates for Vice-President, as well as candidates to fill the three
open slots in the Board of Directors (two regular slots and one student representative slot).
CIES members will vote for these candidates in early 2006. This e-mail contains
information on the positions and how to nominate a CIES colleague.

All CIES members are invited to make nominations. Self-nominations are also welcome.
The Nominations Committee makes a particular effort to ensure the creation of a broad
slate that speaks to the diversity of the CIES membership.

VICE-PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS
Vice-Presidential nominees should show evidence of long-term CIES membership of a
minimum of ten years and must be a current member in CIES. In addition, the nominee
should have served either on the Board of Directors or as a chair of a statutory SIG or
have demonstrated similar leadership in CIES. Attendance and participation in regional
and national meetings of the Society are also requirements, as well as evidences of work
on behalf of CIES at local, regional, national or international levels. The Vice-
Presidential nominee should demonstrate leadership and scholarly attainment in the field
at large.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS NOMINATIONS
Board of Directors nominees should show evidence of membership in CIES for a
minimum of five years in a postgraduate capacity and be a current member of CIES. In
addition, the Board of Directors nominees should show evidence of established
professional and/or scholarly reputation in the field and demonstrate a strong
commitment to the Society by participation in one or all of the following: a) regular
participation in regional and national conferences; b) membership in CIES committees;
and c) participation in any activities intended to promote comparative and international
education scholarship regardless of professional status and setting.

Nominations should be sent to James Jacob (wjacob@gseis.ucla.edu) by October 1, 2005.
