Results of the 2021 AAS Election

Alice Monet US Naval Obs. (retired); AAS Secretary
Voting in the AAS election of Officers and At-Large Trustees for terms beginning in 2021 closed on 2 February. Of the 7,235 members eligible to cast ballots, 2,391 members (33.05%) voted. If you were one of these voters, thank you! If not, we hope you’ll exercise your right to vote in future elections. Our Officers and Trustees help decide the Society's direction and goals. The best way to ensure that your voice is heard is to participate in Society elections.
Here are this year’s winners; all will take office this summer, except for the newly elected member of the Nominating Committee, whose term begins immediately:
