Vote in the AAS 2015 Election!

The AAS election of officers and councilors for terms beginning in 2015 is now under way. New officers and councilors will help decide the Society's direction and goals. The best way to ensure that your voice is heard is to vote!

The ballot is online at https://vote.aas.org/ballot/ballot_view/21 and includes links to statements from all the candidates.

While you can see the candidates' names and read their statements without logging in, you must log in to vote. You will need your AAS username and password. Unless you've already changed it, your AAS username is your AAS member ID number. If you cannot remember your username, please contact [email protected], call 202-328-2010 and press 4 to reach our membership department, or go to http://members.aas.org and click the "forgot my username" link.

If you would prefer to use a paper ballot, you may request one from Crystal Tinch by calling 202-328-2010 x115, emailing [email protected], or faxing 202-234-2560. Please include your AAS member number, if possible.
