SHARP 2021 Elections

Welcome, SHARP members, to the 2021 election for the leadership of the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading & Publishing There are three categories of leadership, but we are voting this year for one position on the Executive Committee (where there are two candidates for Director of Electronic Resources) and for three on the Board of Directors (where there are eleven candidates for three open positions). For the Nominating Committee, two nominations were received for the two open positions; and for the Director of Conferences, one nomination was received for that role. Those individuals have therefore been elected by acclamation and the offices are listed as “unvotable”. Each candidate has produced a statement of their qualifications and interests. The election portal is found at: https://vote.press.jhu.edu/sharp/election/4. To vote, go to “Ballot View” to read the statements, then cast votes for (a) Director of Electronic Resources; and (b) no more than 3 candidates for Board of Directors. Use your SHARP membership username and password to log in and submit your ballot choices. Once you have logged in through the link below please click on Executive Committee and Board of Directors where you will find statements to help you choose between highly qualified candidates for the openings. Voting will close on Tuesday June 29, 2021. If you encounter any difficulties using the online voting form, please contact technical support at jrnlcirc@jh.edu. If you have questions about the election process, please contact Leslie Howsam, Chair of the Nominating Committee, at lhowsam@uwindsor.ca.
