Catherine Crouch, Swarthmore College

Four new members of the Forum on Education Executive Committee will be elected in the fall to take office in January 2020: the Secretary-Treasurer (3-year term), one of the joint APS-AAPT members (3-year term), one of the Members-at-Large (3-year term), and the new Vice-Chair. The Vice-Chair serves in a four-year Chair succession line with different responsibilities each year.

The FEd Executive Committee plans education-related sessions at APS meetings, nominates new APS Fellows, and presents FEd awards. They represent the goals and concerns of the FEd membership to the APS Council of Representatives. Serving as a FEd officer is also an excellent way to learn about APS and its various educational missions and to influence science education at the national level.

Please send suggestions nominating yourself or a colleague to:

Catherine Crouch (ccrouch1@swarthmore.edu)
FEd Vice Chair and Chair of the Nominating Committee
Department of Physics & Astronomy, Swarthmore College

Nominations must be received by July 8 for full consideration although nominations received later will be given whatever consideration is still possible. (New officers are elected every year, so even if your nomination is too late for this year, it can be considered for the following year.) The nominating committee will consider all nominees and assemble a ballot.

Serving a diverse and inclusive community of physicists worldwide is a primary goal for APS. Nominations of women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and scientists from outside the United States are especially encouraged. We are looking forward to receiving your nominations.
