The nominations committee consists of Donatella Galella (chair), Andrew Gibb, Heather Nathans, Ariel Nereson, and Diego Villada. They will prepare a slate of candidates, but any ATDS member can nominate themselves, another member, or even non-members with the understanding that they would become members if elected. Keep in mind that ATDS is currently offering pay-what-you-can membership: https://www.atds.org/product/pay-what-you-can-membership/. The committee especially encourages nominations of BIPOC scholars and artists who work in/on theatre of the Americas.
Send nominations and self-nominations to Donatella Galella at galella@ucr.edu by February 1, 2021. Feel free to send questions and concerns as well. Please don’t hit reply all.
Nominees will be contacted and must confirm their willingness to serve prior to finalization of the election slate. Elections will be held in March 2021 via anonymous online polling and are open to all ATDS members. Newly elected officers will begin their terms following the annual meeting of the Society in August 2021.
