Elections Report 2011

The SICB elections closed on June 8, 2011 after being open for one month. A total of 361 votes for society-wide officers were counted or 19% of the eligible voters. This is far below the 24.1% from last year and 31.1% from three years ago where we had multiple society-wide offices to fill.

All divisional bylaws changes were passed. Of special note, the Division of Systematic and Evolutionary Biology (DSEB) changed its name to the Division of Phylogenetics and Comparative Biology (DPCB); appears below as DSEB. Results of the election will be posted on the SICB web site and they will appear in the Fall newsletter.
