Beginning today, January 23, you can submit nominations on the Standing Committee Nominations web page or by sending an email response to this message to fc@austin.utexas.edu. The committees for which we need suggestions are listed below. Even a few nominations will help; we rely heavily on nominations you submit during this process. Self-nominations are very welcome.
