2025 General Election

The deadline to vote in the 2025 General Election was March 15, 2025. A heartfelt thank you to all our highly qualified candidates who accepted nominations for this important election, as well as the members who voted. We depend upon strong member participation in all aspects of SSSP’s operations and are especially grateful for those who are able and willing to serve the Society. Click here to view the election results.

The extended deadline to make a nomination for the 2026 General Election was July 6. Please check back this fall for the 2027 Call for Nominations procedures.

The deadline to submit nominations for the 2026 General Election has passed. We will be electing a President-Elect, Vice-President-Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, regular and student members of the Board of Directors, members of the Anti-Harassment Committee, Budget, Finance, and Audit Committee, Committee on Committees, Editorial and Publications Committee, Membership and Outreach Committee, and Nominations Committee.

The Nominations Committee will meet prior to the SSSP Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors will approve the slate of candidates for the 2026 General Election on August 9, 2025.

SSSP is committed to having a diverse slate of nominees. This includes diversity based on racial-ethnic background, gender and sexual identities, geographic locations, and institutional settings (e.g., academia, practitioners, organizations, etc.).

Note: If a SSSP member is interested in serving on an appointed committee, the member may select the appropriate committee when renewing membership. The Administrative Office will give your name to the Committee on Committees for consideration.

If you have any questions concerning the 2026 General Election, please contact Shannon K. Carter, Chair, Nominations Committee.
