As a member of the Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury Research (SAVIR) you are invited to vote for one new member of the SAVIR Board of Directors.  The SAVIR Board of Directors serves a vital role as charged by our organization's bylaws.  Twelve Directors sit on the Board and two of these seats will be open.  After receiving nominations from the general membership, the SAVIR Nominating Committee developed a pool of six candidates for the two open seats on the Board. Candidate vitas and personal statements can be found below.  The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to three-year terms on the Board.

You will receive the official BALLOT by email. If you are a current member and did not receive a ballot, please contact admin@savirweb.org.
