(20-23 April 2017), there will be elections for*two *Ordinary Members of 
Council.

AKSE members in good standing are invited to nominate candidates for*two 
*Ordinary Members of Council. Self-nominations are not accepted. Because 
we hope for the widest possible representation, when nominating people, 
please consult the website for the currentCouncil and consider regional, 
disciplinary, and gender distributions in nominating new members.

March 2017*for election at the Prague Conference, and contain:

Except for the President’s position, other positions within the AKSE 
Council will be distributed among the elected Council members as 
appropriate.

At the Prague Conference, the Council will also propose and seek 
acceptance from the membership for the following appointments within the 
Council:

  * The current conference organiser has traditionally become
    the*Vice-President*to provide continuity for the next conference.
  * The next AKSE Conference organizer will automatically become the
    next*Secretary*, so the position is linked to the venue of the next
    conference.
  * To ensure continuity and financial stability of the Association, it
    has been customary for the*Treasurer*to be able to stay in the
    Council for more than 4 years.

The names of candidates for the two Council positions will be put on the 
AKSE website approximately one month before the AKSE Conference in 
Prague, or from mid-March 2017.
