Humanities Texas Board of Directors
Humanities Texas is now accepting nominations for its board. With the exception of six members appointed by the Governor of Texas, the twenty-six-person volunteer board is self-perpetuating and fills vacancies through an open nominations process.
Directors are selected for knowledge or involvement in the humanities. In electing individuals to serve, Humanities Texas strives for geographical and ethnic representation and for balance between academic and public spheres.
From the academic sector, the board elects teachers, scholars, and educational executives. Public nominees represent a wide variety of professional backgrounds, including business, labor, agriculture, and cultural and civic organizations. Board directors serve without compensation but are reimbursed for travel expenses.
The board will have three vacancies to fill for the term beginning January 1, 2008, with possible additional vacancies in 2009 and 2010. Nominations should include a cover letter describing the candidate's qualifications and indicating that he or she is willing to serve and six copies of the individual's resumé. Individuals may nominate themselves for consideration.
Deadline: Nominations are due in the Humanities Texas office by October 5, 2007.
