New England Historical Association

We have a few openings in our upcoming election in April 2013 for positions on the NEHA Executive Board and we strongly encourage NEHA members (even new members) to become involved by running for office.

The openings are:

Vice President
Treasurer
Executive Board member (meets 2x year, concurrent with the NEHA meetings)
Nominating Committee member (most of its work is via email)

If you’d like more information on any of these positions, or would like to run for one of the openings, please contact the Nominating Committee chair, Denise Youngblood at denise.youngblood@uvm.edu. Deadline is February 1, 2013.

Attention NEHA Members! We could use a few additional participants on our two prize committees. Contact NEHA President, Beth DeWolfe at UNE Biddeford if you are interested in participating on either one. Both involve mainly committee work by email, the chance to read the work of outstanding scholars both established and emerging, and the satisfaction of helping to contribute to excellence in scholarship among our membership and in our region! Please consider being involved!

Hanlan Book Prize Committee

Responsibilities: read submissions of books nominated by publishers for the NEHA Book Prize, awarded to the best book published in 2012 by a historian living in New England, and as a committee select one winner. Committee business is generally conducted by email.

Timeframe: submissions are due to the committee by June (you’ll receive the books in the mail), and a decision is reached over the summer, with the award given at the October meeting with ample notice to the winner so she/he can be there in person.

Graduate Student Paper Prize Committee

Responsibilities: read circulated submissions of graduate student papers presented at the 2012 meetings, and select one prize winner if appropriate. Committee business is generally conducted by email.

Timeframe: papers are being solicited now & will be read/discussed over the next few months and the summer. Award may be given at the October 2013 meeting with ample notice to the winner so she/he can be there in person.

We welcome interest in some open slots in the New England Historical Association:

2 vacancies on the Executive Committee (3 year terms)
2 vacancies on the Nominating Committee (3 year terms)
NEHA Secretary (3 year term)

The voting for these open positions will take place during the Spring meeting on Saturday, April 21 at Rivier College. Please contact the interim Nominating Committee chair, Denise Youngblood at UVM (denise.youngblood@uvm.edu) by February 1 if you’d like to be on the ballot or you’d like more information about these opportunities.

Several positions on the NEHA Executive Board expire in April 2012, and we invite NEHA members to consider running for the board or organization leadership positions. We especially welcome participation by newer members or those who haven’t served on the board in the past, as we’re looking for ways to bring fresh faces into NEHA’s planning and leadership. You do not have to be a higher education faculty member to serve on the board. The election will be at the April conference to be held at Rivier College on 4/21/12.

The openings are:

2 members of the Nominating Committee (3 year term)
2 Executive Committee members (3 year term)
NEHA Secretary (3 year term)

Please contact the chair of the Nominating Committee by Feb 17th, Denise Youngblood (University of Vermont, denise.youngblood@uvm.edu) if you’d like more information about any of the positions or to indicate your interest in running.

We encourage NEHA members to nominate themselves, or colleagues who are members, for various positions that will be contested in the annual NEHA election to be held at the Spring conference, April 16, 2011 at Worcester State University. There are openings for Treasurer and for seats on the Executive Committee and the Nominating Committee.

Please email nominations to Nominating Committee Chair, Mark Herlihy (mherlihy@endicott.edu) by Thursday, February 17.
