American Name Society is seeking New Officers

http://www.americannamesociety.org/seeking-new-ans-officers/



Ever thought about getting more involved with the American Name Society but did not know how?  Here is your opportunity!  The American Name Society is currently looking for a few good people who are interested in joining the Executive Council.  Starting January 2017, new officers will be needed to fill two positions: 1.) Member-at-Large; and 2.) Information Officer. To apply for one or both of these positions, please complete and return the ANS 2017 Application Form and email it to Dr. I. M Nick (mavi.yaz@web.de).



Member-at-large (2017-2020)

The person elected to this position will serve as a voting member of the Executive Council (EC) and is expected to participate actively in the legislative decision-making involved in resolutions and motions placed before the EC.  In addition to these duties, members-at-large serve on various auxiliary sub-committees to, for example, help with the nomination of new officers, coordination of the annual conference, and organization of allied conferences.  Officers in this position can renew their term of service twice.

Information Officer (2017-2020)

The person elected to this position will be responsible for maintaining the ANS internet presence via our website as well as Facebook and Twitter. The main duties for this position include the following: updating the news page of the ANS website on a weekly basis; posting special alerts (e.g. conference announcements, calls for papers, ANS newsletters); responding to requests made via the Facebook and twitter accounts; and adding books that are reviewed in NAMES to the ANS Amazon Wishlist.  The person chosen for this position must not only be highly computer literate, but also an avid user of social media.  Experience in using wordpress is desirable but not mandatory.  Training will be provided. The new Information Officer must also have excellent writing and time-management skills as well as a high level of creativity.  The Information Officer will work very closely with the ANS President and Vice President throughout the year.
