ESA is soliciting nominations for the governing board, branch, and section vacancies listed below. Members interested in serving in one of these capacities should complete the ESA Election Nominations Form by June 1, 2025.
The ESA Governing Board consists of 18 trusted individuals who manage the affairs of the Society:
Dear Southeastern Branch members,
The Constitution and Bylaws of the Southeastern Branch of the Entomological Society of America is an important foundational document for The Branch. It guides our operations, meetings, and defines our relevance to the Society. It should be a document that changes as the needs of our Branch change.
Although we have recently revised our Constitution and Bylaws, the Executive Committee has proposed additional changes to modernize our operations.
The following Branches are soliciting officer nominations for the 2026 Branch elections: Eastern Branch, North Central Branch, Pacific Branch, Southeastern Branch, and Southwestern Branch. (The International Branch conducts elections in the summer and will seek nominations in spring 2026.) Members interested in running for one of the following offices are welcome to nominate themselves or someone they believe is deserving of leadership.
ESA is soliciting volunteers for the committee vacancies listed below. Members interested in serving in one or more of these capacities should complete the ESA Volunteer Committee Interest Form by June 1, 2025.
All committee appointments will be confirmed by Branch and Section leadership no later than August 30.
Please review the proposed changes to the Pacific Branch Constitution and Bylaws. These proposed amendments will require a positive vote of at least 2/3 of those casting votes. Voting will take place electronically in conjunction with the Branch officer elections. The changes noted here have been approved by the PB Executive Committee prior to submission to the general membership for a full vote. If you have any questions, please contact PB President, Alix Whitener.
