We have the SC Elections results with us now. Before I announce the names of next set of leaders, I would like to thank you all for voting. Although only one position had multiple nominees, it is important to see SC members actively participating in SC Elections.

Next SC leadership : 2010-2011

• Jeroen de Ridder: Chair
• Venkatakrishnan A. J.: Vice Chair
• Jayne Hehir-Kwa : Secretary
• Avinash K Shanmugam : RSG Committee Chair
• Nils Gehlenborg : Representative on ISCB Board of Directors

Big congratulations going out to you guys. We are sure you guys will do a great job.

Dear Student Council members,

Our annual leadership nominations are now open with elections set to take place soon. We believe that it's very important that you are all familiar with the procedure so you can participate in these elections - whether you are a candidate for a position or participating as a voter.

We have prepared a document describing the procedure and the positions that are up for election. You can find it here: http://www.iscbsc.org/files/StudentCouncilElections-v3.pdf

We hope you will find this useful and we will be happy to answer any questions that remain. If you do have any questions, please contact Student Council Secretary Magali Michaut at secretary@iscbsc.org.

Shortly, to nominate, you just have to follow this link: http://www.iscb.org/nominate

Best regards,

Magali Michaut
ISCB Student Council Secretary
