ASNR 2026 Special Election
The ASNR bylaws stipulate that the members of the ASNR Board of Directors are nominated by the Nominating Committee, approved by the Board of Directors, and then voted on by the ASNR members.
The ASNR Board of Directors recently voted to expand the size of the Board by 1 additional Director. After a thorough review of possible candidates, the ASNR Nominating Committee recommended to the ASNR Board of Directors that Dr. Seth Hays be nominated to fill the newly created vacant seat, and the Board approved that recommendation. As a result, Dr. Hays is now brought before the ASNR membership for a vote. When you vote, you will have the option to approve Dr. Hays, or write in another candidate of your choice.
Voting will take place starting Tuesday, May 19th, and will conclude at 11:59pm EDT on Sunday, May 31st. In order to vote, you must be a member in good standing (dues all paid up) of ASNR, and the system will only allow one ballot per member.
You will be required to login to the ASNR website using your login credentials in order to vote. If you cannot remember your login credentials, or have trouble logging in, please email info@asnr.com for assistance. PLEASE DO NOT CREATE A NEW LOGIN.
