Candidate's CV
Candidate's Statement: I am standing for election to serve as the Mid-Atlantic Region representative on Sigma Xi's Committee on Nominations because I strongly believe that an organization's officers have a major impact on the direction of the organization. I want to help to ensure that those who stand for election to the offices of President-elect and Treasurer offer the membership of Sigma Xi a legitimate choice between qualified candidates. As a career academic (30+ years) I have considerable experience vetting individuals for a wide variety of positions that range from undergraduate scholarship recipients to university presidents and officers in international organizations. I hope to use that experience to the benefit of all members of Sigma Xi.
