SIRC Student Officer Nominations |
SIRC is led by a board of volunteer Officers and Student Officers who serve two-year terms, with Officers and Student Officers being elected on opposite years. The current Student Officers' tenure is coming to a close and SIRC is currently seeking nominations for new student officers to begin February 2019 and hold the position through to February 2021: (1) Secretary, (2) Communications Officer, (3) Membership Officer, (4) Student Conference Chair, and (5) Co-Student Representative (role to be shared with a second student representative that is elected on alternating years). Descriptions of each role and associated responsibilities are listed below. Student Officers are paired with established Officers thus supporting SIRC's mentorship model that will allow students to be immersed in a rich and vibrant group of implementation scientists.
Student Officers can be in any student stage of training from the undergraduate to postdoctoral level. Self and other-supported nominations are invited. Please submit nominations by January 14th, 2019.
