The Board of Directors of the Council of Science Editors invites CSE members to submit nominations for potential candidates to serve on the CSE Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee will consider all submissions and prepare a slate of candidates based on the information that you provide and other candidate recruitment activities. The nominating Committee is chaired by the immediate Past President, Jennifer Deyton.

The board is composed of the president of CSE (who serves as chair of the board), past president, president-elect, vice president, secretary (who serves as secretary of the board), treasurer, treasurer-elect, 3 at-large directors (1 elected each year for a 3-year term), and an appointed nonvoting executive director. The editors of Science Editor and the CSE Web site serve as nonvoting, ex-officio members. Officers and directors are elected by the membership and take office during the business meeting at the CSE Annual Meeting following their election.

In 2024, the CSE membership will elect one Vice President, one Treasurer-Elect, and one Director.

Position Descriptions

Vice President
The vice president is elected to a one-year term. The vice president automatically succeeds to the office of president-elect after serving as vice president for one year. The chief functions of this officer are to become familiar with all CSE activities to prepare for the offices of president-elect and president and, if necessary, to act in place of the president-elect in the event or in those instances where the president-elect is unable to fulfill their responsibilities.
Treasurer-Elect
The Treasurer-Elect serves a 2-year term, concurrent with the Treasurer. He/she automatically succeeds as Treasurer. The Treasurer-Elect serves as Vice Chair of the Finance Committee and as an ex-officio member of the Board of Directors.
Director-at-large
There are three at-large directors serving staggered three-year terms. 

The Vice President and Secretary serve as voting members of the Executive Committee. To expedite the work of the Board, all members of the BOD are expected to perform all duties incident to their office and such other duties as assigned by the President and/or the Board. All elected members of the Board serve as liaisons to committees. As liaisons, Board members are responsible for participating as ex-officio members of the committees to which they are assigned, serving as a resource to the committee chairs and members, and acting as a conduit for information between the committees and the Board. A key responsibility is to present recommendations to the Board from the committees they represent and to report any Board actions related to the recommendations presented back to the respective liaison committee.
