The IACS Society is pleased to announce open nomination (including self-nomination) and election of active members for several open positions in the next board (2025-2027). The obligations of the board members are to promote and advance the academic activities of the IACS Society, including organizing the summer school, the conference, the dissertation prize, as well as other related activities such as book launches and other events. Board membership is on a voluntary/unpaid basis. To ensure institutional memory and continuity of operation while pursuing inclusion, the board will nominate 6-9 members from the current board, and accept new nominations for the remaining 3-5 positions.
