2018 Candidates: Board of Directors Election

The Board of Directors Nomination Committee has selected and President James F. Driscoll has approved the following 18 candidates for the slate for The Combustion Institute 2018 Board of Directors election. Please review the candidate profiles presented below in alphabetical order. Each profile consists of a photograph of the candidate, a one-page statement, and curriculum vitae.

Nine directors will be elected by the membership from the slate of candidates. Members will be able to vote through the electronic election process first implemented in 2014 and The Combustion Institute will use a modified STV process. The modification ensures at least two of the candidates from industry are elected, consistent with the Board of Directors’ goal of increasing its industrial representation. Electronic ballots will be sent to members on 15 June 2018. Votes will be collected until 16 July 2018. Elected directors will begin their six year terms at the conclusion of the 37th Symposium in Dublin, Ireland.
