Monday, 8 September: Vote in Executive Committee Elections
Vote online http://dcmp.bc.edu for a new Vice-Chair, Councillor, and two Members-at-Large.
The Executive Committee through its "chairs" stewards APS March meeting involving dozen APS units. Duties include revising sorting categories, guiding selection of invited symposia, organizing the sort of contributed abstracts into coherent sessions. The DCMP seeks to avoid conflict between topics of invited and contributed sessions and to schedule related sessions in the same rooms over meeting.
The Executive Committee as a whole selects the DCMP invited talks using only member-submitted nominations.
The members-at-large serve as DCMP Fellowship Committee, sending their recommendations to APS Fellowship Committee and then APS Council.
The Executive Committee works to improve understanding of condensed matter physics by Congress, funding agencies, K-16, and public. March meeting features letter writing campaign to Congress. See educational material at http://dcmp.bc.edu. Send suggestions or coments to dcmp@bc.edu.
For every vacancy there are two nominees who have agreed to serve. DCMP members are encouraged to nominate candidates. On-line procedure eases securing fifty co-nominators to ensure presence on ballot.
