Call for Nominations to the SAH Board for 2020–2023

May 28, 2019 by SAH News

The SAH Nominating Committee seeks your nominations and self-nominations for five new SAH Board members and a Second Vice President who will begin their terms after the Seattle annual conference in April/May 2020. Board members will serve a three-year term until April 2023. The Second Vice President will serve a one-year term, renewable for a second year. Nominations and self-nominations are also sought for the Graduate Student Representative position on the SAH Board.

The final slate of nominees should represent the diversity of the field of architectural history. Self-nominations are welcome as are nominations of emerging scholars and independent and non-affiliated historians of architecture, landscapes, planning and related disciplines. Nominations of practitioners in architecture, historic preservation and related fields are also encouraged, as are nominations of professionals such as people in business, law and investments who chose architectural history as their avocation.

SAH actively works to increase the diversity of our profession by expanding the racial and ethnic populations we represent, topics we address in our publications, programs and conferences, and promotion of these issues in the field of architectural history at large. To that end, SAH welcomes the nomination of candidates who will add racial and ethnic diversity to the SAH Board, those who are working outside the tenure track, including contingent faculty, and those who are working outside the academy.

Please email nominations to beifrig@sah.org. Nominations will be forwarded directly to the Chair of the Nominating Committee, Dr. Victoria Young. Nominations should include the name, affiliation (if applicable), and contact information for the candidate, the nominee’s CV, and a short explanation of the nominee’s qualifications and why the nominee should be considered for the SAH Board.

Deadline for submitting nominations is August 1, 2019.
