Dear SCI members,

The deadline for the call for nominations for the 2015 SCI Chair and Vice Chair ended COB Friday, 12 December. Here are the results of the call for nominations:

Chair: Amr Elsader nominated Anne Aikman-Scalese to be Chair of the SCI. Wolf Ulrich-Knoben seconded the nomination. Anne has accepted the nomination and is willing to serve as chair.

Vice Chair: Cintra Sooknanan indicated that she will not serve a second term as Vice Chair. Lori Schulman nominated herself to serve as Vice Chair. Cintra and Amr seconded the nomination. Since the SCI Charter requires that only a primary member of the SCI (not an alternate) may serve as Chair or Vice Chair, the NPOC has agreed that Lori will switch roles with Cintra and will serve as the primary member and Cintra will serve as the alternate.

As there were no other nominations for Chair or Vice Chair prior to the deadline, and as there is only one nomination for each position, there is no need to proceed to an election. Thus, the 2015 SCI Chair and Vice Chair will be Anne Aikman-Scalese and Lori Schulman.

Best regards, Julie

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
