If you might be interested in self-nominating, please start discussing on the list, and sharing any additional concerns or information. If you think a colleague might be interested, my personal preference (as an individual) is that you communicate with that person, and suggest that they think about it and self-nominate if they would like to do so. Again, as a personal opinion, self nominations indicate a willingness and commitment that being nominated by another does not show so clearly.<br><br></div>Thanks for getting involved!
