Dear SDS members, Our annual board elections have now opened. You can read statements from nominees here <https://disstudies.org/index.php/sds-board-electees/> and vote here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1CXbomYmne-6YVZXOk50aoyxix8kYuFuPJL4p6QZhucg/edit>. Please note that your vote needs to be cast by September 21st at 11:59 PM. You need to use the same email address as your SDS registration in order to have your vote count. Votes are rendered anonymous through Google Forms. Please note that you will be voting for up to 4 candidates for the board and an additional graduate student representative. Each of these roles is for a 3-year term. There are spaces for write-in candidates for both roles, but please ensure that any write-in candidate is willing to serve in the role. Results of the election will be announced to the membership on September 22nd. We have several upcoming organizational changes, including a return to the annual meeting, community and global advisory boards, and ongoing programming for community members. We are also in the process of transitioning to a new membership platform. Our new board members will be crucial in determining the final form that each of these initiatives take, so it is vital that we elect committed and responsive board members. Thank you for your participation in the future of SDS! -- Matthew Wolf-Meyer President, Board of Directors Society for Disability Studies Professor of Science and Technology Studies Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Administrative Coordinator admin@disstudies.org [Website <https://disstudies.org/>] [Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/SocietyforDisabilityStudies/>]
