AIA members are encouraged to submit additional names for consideration before September 1, 2022. Please send suggestions to John Papadopoulos at jkp@humnet.ucla.edu and Samantha Austin at saustin@archaeological.org. With your nomination, please provide the nominee’s email address and a few sentences explaining why you think that person might be a good AIA Governing Board member. The Nominating Committee will consider all suggestions, but their role is to vet and select the requisite candidates for the ballot.
