The Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness relies on the leadership of an advisory board. During the early period of the Society’s development, key leadership positions (e.g., subcommittee members and subcommittee chairs) will be drawn from the Advisory Board. As SREE transitions into an independent organization, the full complement of leadership positions will be elected by voting membership.

Call for Nominations

As stipulated in the Bylaws of the Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness (SREE), four officers will be elected on an annual basis, with each officer serving a period of 12 months*. The four officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) constitute the initial Executive Council of SREE and will serve as members of the Board of Directors. The Executive Council will eventually include six members comprised of the four elected officers, the President elect and the immediate past president. The Executive Council, in consultation with the Board of Directors, provides the primary leadership group that endeavors to achieve the mission, direct the activities, and manage the resources of SREE.

As part of SREE’s continuing growth and development, we now seek nominations for the above noted officers. Individuals who submit nominations must be members of SREE, in any category of membership (student, professional membership, or institutional membership). An individual nominated for office must be a current professional member of SREE or become a member prior to accepting his/her nomination. Nominations may be accepted for only a single office in a given election period. In order to nominate an individual for an office, please use the online nomination form.
