ICGI 2017 Election Nomination Starts (5/2/17)

NOMINATIONS:  At this time (May 2-16), ICGI solicits your nomination of individuals who would like to serve as ICGI officers. 

Each of the 6 officer positions involves a 4-year commitment:  two years as Co-Chair and then two years as Chair.  These positions are a great way to serve cotton, science, and the international community!

Note that you can nominate yourself, and/or someone else, but IF someone else, PLEASE ask them before submitting their name.

Some RULES -- According to the ICGI By-Laws (https://www.cottongen.org/icgi/constitution_bylaws#a7  see Article VII: Election and Appointment of Officers): 

• An individual may accept a nomination for only one position per election. 
• Also, an officer cannot hold two positions at once, so current Co-chairs (soon to be Chairs) cannot be nominated for additional positions this election. 
• Current Chairs will be vacating their current positions, and can vie for positions other than the one they currently hold. 

Below – note that all current Chairs will retire and all Co-chairs will advance to the respective Chair positions:
