Academic Consortium Board Nominations Sought
The Nominating Committee of CIEE's Academic Consortium Board (ACB) is seeking candidates
for election to the Academic Consortium Board.
The Academic Consortium and the Academic Consortium Board
Membership in the Academic Consortium is open to any institution
that wishes to enroll students in CIEE study abroad programs
and that declares its desire to participate in the Consortium.
The ACB is the official governing body of CIEE’s Academic
Consortium and plays a key role in assuring the quality of
CIEE study abroad programs.
Nomination Procedure and Election Process
Each Consortium member is asked to designate an Official
Voting Representative to exercise the institution’s voting
rights at annual meetings and by mail ballots. As the official
voting representative of your institution, please use the form
below to recommend eligible individuals for possible nomination
to the ACB. A general call for nominations will take place
each fall, but nominations are accepted at anytime of the year. During the spring, the official voting
representative will receive a mail ballot. A list of possible
nominations will be proposed for vacancies on the ACB, and
space will be provided for write-ins. According to the by-laws
of the ACB, the mail ballot will also be used to elect a member
of the Nominating Committee for the following year.
Eligibility
Eligible for election to the Academic Consortium Board
are Official Voting Representatives of Consortium member institutions
and any other faculty member or administrator from a Consortium
member institution who have the endorsement of their official
representative. (Current members of the Nominating Committee
are ineligible for nomination to the ACB).
Members are elected
to staggered three-year terms, with a limit of two consecutive
terms. In
addition, members are required to attend two annual ACB meetings
in April and November, participate annually in program monitoring,
and, on occasion, on-site evaluations of CIEE Study Center programs.
Criteria Sought
Individuals are sought who have demonstrated a commitment
to international education and exchange and are in a position
to influence internationalization efforts at their institution.
It is expected that all nominees are from institutions or organizations
that are members of CIEE, and who represent as best as possible
a wide geographic, institutional, gender, and area studies
distribution.
Specifically, the Nominating Committee is seeking educators
with some of the following qualifications:
- diversity of institution type and region
- mixture of faculty and administrative experience
- regional and linguistic expertise
- gender, ethnic, racial and national diversity
- familiarity and experience with CIEE programs
- need for several ACB members to be drawn from institutions that are major users of CIEE programs
