ASE Committee Vice Chair Nomination - The Association for Surgical Education

The ASE is currently soliciting self-nominations for Vice Chair of Committese from eligible Physician/Non-Physician Members who are ASE members in good standing (please note: Trainee Members are not eligible to serve as Vice Chairs but may apply after training, or for available Trainee Committee positions when available). Vice Chairs are nominated from the active members and should be productive members of the committee. Active members are considered as those who have been committee members on the committee for which they are applying for one year or more and have significantly contributed to committee activities. They should endorse the mission and values of the ASE and have the time and desire to participate in committee leadership activities and the Board of Directors (as a non-voting attendee), which includes at minimum two in-person/virtual Committee and Board meetings per year.

Once the nomination process has concluded, the current Committee Chairs will confer with their ASE Executive Committee liaison regarding Vice Chair nominees and their recommendations. The recommendations are then put forth for approval by the ASE Executive Committee. Once the Executive Committee has approved the nominees, an anonymous vote by the active members of the committee, conducted by the ASE staff, will be held in April/May 2025. The nominee with the majority of votes shall be appointed as the new Vice Chair in May, with the term to begin immediately following the ASE 2025 Annual Meeting.

The Chair and Vice Chair will attend the next ASE Board of Directors meeting (generally the fall meeting). The contribution and engagement of the Vice Chair will be reviewed annually by the Chair and the ASE Executive Committee liaison for continuation in the role. The Vice Chair will become Chair at the conclusion of a 2-year term in 2027 and will at that time become Chair for 2 years and a voting member of the Board of Directors, for a total of 4 years of service.

**Please note: All nominee forms will be circulated to the leadership and Committee during the review and voting process.

Submit the form below by April 16, 2025.
