Call for Nominations
Nomination Procedure
At least two but no more than five members of the Society may forward the name of a nominee together with a letter from each nominating member and a single, optional, curriculum vitae with bibliography in support of their nominee to the Secretary of the Society (address given below) on or before 15 February of each year. Each nomination letter may have more than one signer, but each signer should sign only one letter. To simplify communications with the Secretary, it is requested that all nominators for a particular nominee select among themselves a chief nominator through whom all correspondences with the Society will pass. Please note that the principal nominator should integrate the nomination letters and send ONE nomination package to ensure that all letters of endorsement reach the decision makers on time. Questions may be directed to Don Helmberger, chair of the Harry Fielding Reid Medal Subcommittee <helm [at] gps.caltech.edu>.
Nominations for all SSA awards are solicited from the members to be sent to the SSA Secretary, by the due date of 15 February. Electronic submissions should be e-mailed in .TXT, .PDF or .DOC files to <awards [at] seismosoc.org>. While electronic submissions are encouraged, hard copies may be mailed to:
