All Candidates are invited to send in relevant biographical information for the election. This information will be made available on ASA's electronic ballot and may also be included in Section Newsletters to educate members about the Candidates. All biographical information should be sent to the Section's Nominating Committee before January 31st. Please keep your biographical entries and statements parsimonious. While any biographical information you submit is not content edited by ASA Staff it may be discarded if too long or if provided in a format that cannot be sent to our election vendor.

ASA provides an editable version of this form to all Section Nominating Committees.

For your reference and convenience the questions are listed below:

Former Professional Positions Held
Please provide your three most recent professional positions relevant to sociology with most recent first. Please provide title/rank, place of employment, and dates of employment for each position.

Education
Please provide your three most recent degrees earned, listing the most recent degree earned first. For each, please provide the degree earned, the institution from which it was earned, and the year it was received.
