The fall 2019 AAS elections have concluded, and we are pleased to provide the results in each category. Approximately 22% of the membership voted, slightly down from last year’s 29% participation. Newly elected representatives will take office immediately after the upcoming Annual Conference in Boston next March.

We congratulate the winners and thank all candidates for their willingness to serve the association. We also thank all members who participated in the electoral process by casting their votes.
