ASEH's Nominating Committee Seeks Candidates for Leadership
Do you want to help chart ASEH’s course in the coming years? Do you have ideas about how to keep ASEH a vibrant community? Do you have a perspective that you think needs to be heard? Have you admired a fellow ASEH member’s commitment to our common principles, or their efforts to advocate on behalf of others? Perhaps you’ve been astounded by how effortlessly a colleague organized a workshop or conference panel. Or possibly you’ve long admired how a fellow ASEH member instills a rich appreciation for environmental history among public audiences. If the answer to any of these questions is yes—the nominating committee of ASEH would appreciate your help in filling the following imminent vacancies in the society’s governance structure:
One candidate for Vice President/President elect
