Nominations Invited for DHRB Committee

The American Society for Aesthetics welcomes nominations (including self-nominations) to the Committee on Discrimination, Harassment, and Respectful Behaviors for three year terms from January 1, 2023  - December 31, 2025.

Nominations should be submitted no later than November 1, 2022, to secretary-treasurer@aesthetics-online. The nomination should include a CV (no more than five pages) and cover letter explaining qualifications and interest in the work of the committee. Please confirm that someone is willing to be nominated before submitting their name. The procedures for selection are provided in the ASA policy:

When applications are received, the Secretary-Treasurer will share them with the leadership (chairs and assistant chairs) of the Feminist Caucus Committee and Diversity Committee. Each Committee will be asked to identify preferred candidates, after appropriate consultation with the membership of the full committee of current ASA members. At least three preferred candidates should be recommended, listed either alphabetically or rank-ordered, by each committee. The Officers and Trustees will be required to give very serious consideration to these recommendations from each committee in making their final selections. The lists of preferred candidates by the committees must be sent to the Officers no later than December 1, so the Trustee balloting can be completed in December.

The terms of three members expire December 31, 2022: Remei Capdevila-Werning, Alexandra King, and Charles Peterson. All are eligible for a second term. The newly elected members will join Jennifer Judkins, Jayson Miller, and Lenore Wright, whose terms of membership are January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2024. They also will be eligible for re-appointment at that time. They all join the ASA Ombudsperson, Jeanette Bicknell, who chairs the Committee and attends all ASA divisional and annual meetings.

The ASA revised policies on Discrimination, Harassment, and Respectful Behavior were announced on July 12, 2019, and supersede previous policies. The policies were revised based on extensive work by the ASA Committee on Respectful Behaviors and the Board of Trustees. A draft was sent to all ASA members for comment and thirteen members responded with suggestions, most of which were adopted. 

The complete policies are available on the ASA Web site under ASA Policies:
