Instructions for Submitting Council Leadership Nominations
Nominations for the council leadership positions should be based on valuable service to ASE or contributions to the field of cardiovascular ultrasound. Candidates must also understand and support the strategic goals of the society, and broadly represent the ASE membership. All active members are eligible for nomination for open positions. While candidates can actively seek out support for their candidacy, candidates are not self-nominated, they must have letters of support put forward by other active ASE members.
NOMINATOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Submit letter of nomination outlining candidate’s leadership skills to ASE and provide a copy of candidate’s CV. Active members may nominate one candidate per open position. Letters should be addressed to the current council chair, preferably on letterhead, with a signature. (See Guidelines for Letters).
- Solicit additional letters of support for nomination. These letters of support may be submitted separately to the Council Nominations Committee (send to smorris@asecho.org). Council Steering Committee candidates may have 2-3 letters of support.
- Members can provide supporting letters for more than one candidate. If a member is writing to support more than one candidate, the letters must highlight the differences in the candidates; otherwise the letters take away the weight of the recommendations for both candidates.
- Members of the Nominations Committee cannot write letters of nomination or support. Nominees are restricted from contacting or lobbying members of the Nominations Committee other than by asking questions about the process.
CANDIDATE’S RESPONSIBILITIES:
To assist in your nomination please complete the following:
- Complete the Self-Assessment Application

- Review and submit the online ASE Conflict of Interest/Disclosure form. Candidates will be required to submit a COI form. Please be sure to read the complete COI policy before submitting the form.
- All nominees will be subject to a social media screening process from a third-party vendor to assure that you have abided with ASE’s ethics policy and core values before being considered.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF NOMINATIONS AND CANDIDATE MATERIALS IS NOVEMBER 30, 2023. There will be no exceptions to this deadline.
