Three questions with E. JENNINGS TAYLOR and ERIC WACHSMAN, candidates for vice president of ECS.

Office of the vice president

The vice president serves a three-year term as a voting member of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee and is designated third, second and senior in subsequent years. The vice president provides leadership and direction for the topical interest areas and vital ECS functions. Besides having an exceptional scientific background, the vice president learns and understands how the Society programs (publications, meetings, and constituent services areas, awards programs, committee interaction, Bylaws, etc.), are essential to its success.
