    Call for Nominations for Secretary-Treasurer of the Linguistic Society of America

    The Secretary-Treasurer is the constitutionally designated chief fiscal officer of the Society. The responsibilities of the Secretary-Treasurer shall include keeping the records of the deliberations of the Society and the Executive Committee, presenting an annual report to the Society, which shall be published by the Society, supervising publications of the Society which are not the responsibility of the Editor, and such functions as may be assigned by the President and the Executive Committee. Although the Secretary-Treasurer is elected annually, the recent tradition has been to serve for five consecutive years.

    During their term in office, all past Secretary-Treasurers have been faculty members in residence at their own universities. They have been able to continue to pursue research interests, to maintain faculty commitments, and to meet administrative responsibilities because the work of the Society is generally carried out by the Secretariat in Washington. The Secretariat, currently staffed by three employees, administers and manages the work of the Society under the direction of and in frequent communication with the Secretary Treasurer.

    Each year the Secretary-Treasurer receives a modest honorarium in recognition of service and is reimbursed for office supplies and the expense of a telephone at his or her university office, as well as for travel on LSA business.

    The members of the Ad Hoc Secretary-Treasurer Search Committee (Elizabeth C. Traugott, Chair) welcome applications and nominations from any member. The Committee would also be pleased to respond to inquiries about the position and to supply detailed information on the responsibilities. The deadline for receipt of materials is 1 July 2002. All applications and nominations should be accompanied by a curriculum vitae and be sent to: Ad Hoc Secretary-Treasurer Search Committee, c/o LSA Secretariat, 1325 18th Street NW, Suite 211, Washington, DC 20036-6501.
