Nominations for 2015 MOS Elections

Nominations are solicited for all offices (Chair, Treasurer, and four At-Large Members of Council) of the Mathematical Optimization Society (MOS). The new Members-at-Large of the Council will take office at the time of the symposium, while the Chair-Elect and the Treasurer-Elect will take office one year later.

Candidates must be members of the Society (search at http://www.ams.org/cml/) and may be proposed either by Council or by any six members of the Society. No proper nomination may be refused, provided the candidate agrees to stand.

The following procedure will be observed.

1. Nomination to any office is to be submitted to William Cook (Chair of the MOS). Such nomination is to be supported by the nominator and at least five other members of the Society.
2. Nominations must be received by email (bico@uwaterloo.ca), on or before April 30, 2015.
3. In keeping with tradition, the next Chair should preferably not be a resident of North America. The membership is asked to consider only residents from other continents as candidates for the Chair.
4. Members of MOS on the rolls as of May 1, 2015 are eligible to vote. When the ballots are counted, the four At-Large candidates for Council having the highest number of votes will be elected; however, no more than two members having permanent residence in the same country may be elected.
5. The election will close on May 31, 2015.

Further information on the form of balloting will be forthcoming.

-- William Cook, MOS Chair
