Nominations for SSPD Officers

We are searching for persons who are interested in serving as officers in the Society for the Stimulus Properties of Drugs (SSPD). Election for officers will take place next month and new officers will begin serving in January 2002. We will be electing a new secretary/treasurer and a new president-elect. The next president is Mike Swedberg. David Gauvin will be the past-president. Secretary/treasurer will serve for a two-year term. Mike will serve a one-year term as president, but if approved at the annual meeting, the next president (i.e., president-elect) will serve a two-year term (see proposed changes in bylaws). Hence, whoever is elected president-elect will be an officer of SSPD for 4 years (one year as president-elect, two years as president, and one year as past-president). The year as president-elect will serve as a "training time" for the future president. Then, s/he will have 2 years in which to develop his/her vision for SSPD's future. If you or someone you know is interested in being nominated for one of these positions in the coming election, please contact Jenny Wiley as soon as possible so that we can put your name on the ballot.

SSPD Website Update
