USSEE Board of Director Openings

The USSEE Board of Directors invites you to nominate candidate(s) for the Board of the U.S. Society for Ecological Economics. The election will be held in late May and we are seeking nominations for the following positions by May 10th. You are welcome to self-nominate.

Nominations are for the following 5 positions with terms beginning June 1st, 2019:

  • Secretary Treasurer
  • Board Members at Large (2 members)
  • Graduate Student Member
  • Undergraduate Student Member

The Undergraduate Student Member Position is a new position that we hope to fill for the first time this year. Candidates for student representative must be an active student member of the society (requiring the individual to be enrolled at least half time at an institution of higher education) and have a desire to be engaged in the field of ecological economics and help USSEE fulfill our purposes, which include: the advancement of understanding of the relationships between ecological systems and economic systems, and the application of this understanding to the mutual well-being of nature and people, especially that of the most vulnerable, now and in the future. The representative will serve as a voice for the undergraduate student perspective on the board of directors, helping us to better train, reach, and retain the next generation of ecological economists. We see the role of the student representative to help USSEE connect with students across our regional networks and bring those topics to the board for consideration, as well as help the Society to expand our reach to students engaged in the study and practice of ecological economics.  Activities and initiatives could include helping to organize student research highlights on the blog, coordinating student events on ecological economics at different universities, and hosting networking events for students at biennial conferences. Please help us in circulating this notice among your student networks or suggesting outstanding students for this position.

Names or inquiries for all positions can be submitted to ussee2013@gmail.com.
