The ASCI’s 2015 ballot results
The Active segment of the ASCI membership recently voted on candidates for Council vacancies, on nominees recommended for election this year to the Society, and on a change to the organization’s bylaws. The results were recently audited and confirmed.
The following members will join the Council at the conclusion of the 2015 ASCI/AAP Joint Meeting:
- Vice President: Benjamin L. Ebert, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School. He was elected in 2011.
- Councilor: Jay D. Horton, M.D., The Dr. Robert C. and Veronica Atkins Chair in Obesity & Diabetes Research, UT Southwestern Medical Center. He was elected in 2003.
- Councilor: Clara Abraham, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine. She was elected in 2014.
The Council received 188 membership nominations for 2015 and recommended 75 nominees for election; the recommendation was approved. Those being inducted at the ASCI Dinner and New Member Induction Ceremony on April 24, 2015, are listed below.
Last, voters approved a revision to the bylaws to shorten the selection timeline of the Editor of the Journal of Clinical Investigation and to coordinate selection with the ASCI’s annual meeting. Changes to the bylaws require a 75% affirmative vote and at least 40% of Active members must have voted; 59% of Active members voted, and 92% of the voters approved the revision.
