[asapmembers] REMINDER, CAST YOUR VOTES NOW: Arecibo Science Advocacy Partnership Board Members

[secretary at areciboscience.org]

Dear ASAP Members,
	Please cast your votes using this electronic document <https://forms.gle/riDtdtkqLTQ6nrQ98>.  Please 
vote by 5 pm EDT on Thursday, July 22nd.  Arecibo’s future depends 
in considerable measure on ASAP members electing a strong, active 
ASAP Board.  Please find the Board candidate’s statements on the 
attached pdf file below.  Please read their statements and make your 
choices for who you feel are the strongest candidates. 

	Nominations were requested from ASAP members in an earlier email, 
and 15 of your colleagues were nominated and have agreed to stand for 
election to the ASAP Board, seven in Astronomy and four each in Planetary 
and Atmospheric Sciences.

	You will elect two members in each of Arecibo’s three major specialties, 
Astronomy, Planetary and Atmospheric Studies for terms of two or three years 
service on the ASAP Board—and three current ASAP Board members have 
agreed to serve out 1-year terms.  These nine Board members will then be 
joined by representatives from each of the four standing committees: AO 2.0, 
Advocacy/Outreach, NAIC Liaison and Admin/Infrastructure.  Board elections 
would then reccur each year

	The colleagues you have nominated as Board members are as follows—
Radio Astronomy:  
Marcel Agüeros
Héctor Arce
Mayra Lebron
Natalia Lewandowska
Robert Minchin
Snezana Stanimirovic
Russ Taylor

Planetary:  
Randy Hughes-King
Catherine Neish
Michael Nolan
Anne Virkki

Atmospheric:

Please find the Nominee Statements from these candidates in the attached 
pdf document below.

	Thank you for your support of ASAP and the Arecibo Observatory.
			Best regards,
				Joanna Rankin
				ASAP Secretary
