[Biz Nijdam]

*CSS GSC Executive Board *Nominations* Now Open*



The Graduate Student Caucus (GSC) of the Comics Studies Society (CSS) calls
for nominations and self-nominations for officers on its Executive Board.
The CSS GSC represents the interests of graduate students and recent
grads (within
three years of receiving a degree), contingent faculty, and postdocs in the
larger CSS, with the GSC President sitting on the CSS Executive Board. The
GSC welcomes nominations and self-nominations from GSC members from any
stage in their academic career (off or before the tenure-track) for the
positions of *Vice-President**, Secretary-Treasurer, *and two
*Members-At-Large**.*

*Vice President*: The vice president shall work with and assist the
president in various duties, acting as a stand-in if necessary. They shall
manage internal committee affairs, such as overseeing and delegating
various tasks to committee members working cooperatively on rendering the
GSC functions operational (building online presence, delivering news,
organizing workshops/events, etc.). Additionally, the vice-president is in
charge of recruitment of new grad student members. The vice president
serves a one-year term. Upon completion of the term, the vice president
will assume the functions of the president for one year.

*Secretary-Treasurer*: The secretary-treasurer assumes the responsibility
of managing the society's finances, keeping minutes from all meetings, and
keeping a membership list. The secretary—treasurer serves a one-year term.

*Members-At-Large*: Two members at large provide advice and aid to the
officers of the Caucus. Early career scholars holding contingent positions
such as postdoctoral fellowships are encouraged to apply for these
positions. The Members-at-Large serve one-year terms.

Details about the responsibilities of each position are outlined in the GSC
Bylaws, available here
