ELECTION INFORMATION

Candidates for the PASCV Council are PASCV members in good standing, who are actively engaged in viral diagnosis or clinical virology, and reside in the Americas or the Caribbean. Nominations are received from the membership during the year preceding an election. The PASCV President then submits a slate of candidates to a vote by the membership, via the spring newsletter and the listserver.

Newly elected officers are announced at the annual PASCV business meeting. The new officers assume their positions immediately following the Clinical Virology Symposium. Terms of office are 2 years for the President, President-elect and Immediate Past-President, and 4 years for all other officers.
