It’s time to vote for FIAP leaders. The election is open through Dec 31st. You should have received an email with directions and a link to biographies and candidate statements. The email will be from noreplymydv@directvote.net. Please check your spam folder if you haven't received this email. Please contact industrialfellow@aps.org if you did not get that email. 

We will elect three officers; their roles and candidates for those positions are shown below. The duties for each office are described in Article VI of the FIAP Bylaws.

Please note that the election process has had some hiccups this year and you may have received multiple notices. Once you’ve voted, further notices should cease. In addition, the “Applied” in FIAP was left off of the election notice by mistake. We are still and will continue to be the Forum on Industrial and Applied Physics. We apologize for any misunderstanding caused by this error.

The candidates are listed below. Full biographies are available at the links in the email. Thank you for voting and supporting FIAP!
