Leadership Elections
It’s time to elect new leadership! As a small organization, ARSTM relies on an active, enthusiastic, and collegial officer group. Service loads are reasonable with most positions normally requiring under 40 hours per year; the President normally has a more significant commitment, and those nominated should be able to serve actively in that role.
We invite all ARSTM members to nominate candidates for the following offices:
- Second Vice President
- Second Treasurer
- Secretary
- Social Media Officer
- Second Web Administrator
Please consider nominating scholars from diverse backgrounds and fields. All ARSTM members (including students, non-tenure track professors, and tenure-track professors) are eligible for nomination to any office. Self-nominations are encouraged.
Election Timeline
Please send nominations by email to ARSTM President Kenny Walker (kenneth.walker@utsa.edu) by Monday, October 10, 2022. Nominations must include the nominee’s:
- Name
- Title/Position
- Institution
- Contact email
- ARSTM position they are being nominated for
Nominees, if they agree to be considered, will be asked to submit short statements of interest to the President by October 17th, 2022. Statements of interest will be shared via the ARSTM listserv and website during the voting period.
Voting will take place from October 21st to November 11th, 2022. Electronic ballots will be sent to all active members.
Elected officers will be installed at the ARSTM Annual Business Meeting, which will be held via Zoom on Monday, November 14, 2022, prior to the National Communication Association meeting.

ARSTM Open Hour: What’s It Like to Lead ARSTM?
We also invite anyone interested to chat with ARSTM leaders about the value of ARSTM leadership and mentorship activities at our second ARSTM Open Hour.
Drop by to chat with current and past ARSTM officers to learn more about each position and decide whether running ARSTM leadership is right for you! ARSTM leadership will be there to answer your questions and talk about their experiences.
