Dear ICGI members,
This letter primarily calls for nominations of ICGI Officers, but also mentions dates for our 2018 biennial meeting.
Please help ICGI distribute the information:
If you know ICGI members whose email addresses have recently changed, please share this email with them – they should update their record at ICGI.
Membership involves no cost. If you know of individuals interested in cotton genomics and/or its applications and who are not members but should be or might be interested, please refer them to our web site https://www.cottongen.org/icgi/home <https://www.cottongen.org/icgi/home>.
2017 ELECTION: ICGI requests your help at this time in nominating individuals for our ICGI leadership positions. I was supposed to commence this process in January –- please accept my apologies for the delay.
2018 BIENNIAL MEETING: In the very near future, members should receive one or more emails with information regarding our 2018 biennial meeting. Details are being solidified at this time, but our 2018 meeting will be in
Edinburgh, Scotland
May 28 – June 1.
Please mark your calendars and start planning accordingly!
NOMINATIONS: At this time (May 2-16), ICGI solicits your nomination of individuals who would like to serve as ICGI officers.
Each of the 6 officer positions involves a 4-year commitment: two years as Co-Chair and then two years as Chair. These positions are a great way to serve cotton, science, and the international community!
Note that you can nominate yourself, and/or someone else, but IF someone else, PLEASE ask them before submitting their name.
Some RULES -- According to the ICGI By-Laws (https://www.cottongen.org/icgi/constitution_bylaws#a7 <https://www.cottongen.org/icgi/constitution_bylaws#a7> see Article VII: Election and Appointment of Officers):
· An individual may accept a nomination for only one position per election.
· Also, an officer cannot hold two positions at once, so current Co-chairs (soon to be Chairs) cannot be nominated for additional positions this election.
· Current Chairs will be vacating their current positions, and can vie for positions other than the one they currently hold.
Below – note that all current Chairs will retire and all Co-chairs will advance to the respective Chair positions:
