Dear STR Member and Friend:

With the deadline on February 27, this is a last call and reminder that this year, you can nominate enthusiastic and capable volunteers for the full set of committees of the STR Division! If you, or someone you know, would fit any of the descriptions below, visit https://apps.aom.org/DivNomination and select "Nominate Now".

• For the Awards Committee, we seek foremost senior scholars and widely acknowledged thought leaders who will help choose the winners of prestigious career awards. Even if this does not describe you, nominate those you respect most in our field!
• The Global Representatives Committee seeks colleagues who will act as bridges between their region and the rest of the division, and organize a conference workshop. This year we specifically seek Global Reps from Oceania and Asia, but welcome nominations of people who may represent other regions in future.
• The new Membership Engagement Committee seeks social “butterflies” and creative minds – regardless of seniority – to create and lead social and social-academic activities during the conference.
• The Teaching Committee seeks excellent teachers and educational innovators to organize workshops and advise fellow division members on teaching matters. We know teaching matters to many members, so help us help all of you by nominating inspiring educators!
• The Research Committee seeks scholars who produce and, better yet, demonstrably know how to judge high-quality research (including via ERB and editorial experience).
• Promising and established scholars with a history of service to STR and other academic organizations will be considered for the Executive Committee, which governs the whole Division. EC members get to experience a variety of tasks from conference program building to new initiatives.
• You can nominate someone for the Assistant Program Chair position, which leads to a five-year track of leadership of the Division. APC nominees must have served on the EC before.

This is an exceptional opportunity to have a say in the future of your division. STR needs your best nominees!

On behalf of the STR membership and Executive Committee,
