2008 SIAM Election Results Are In
December 12, 2008
The votes from the 2008 SIAM election have been tallied, and the following members have been elected:
- Board of Trustees - Iain Duff, Nicholas Higham, and Mary Ann Horn
- Council - Michele Benzi, Bruce Hendrickson, Thomas Hou, and Henry Wolkowicz
The creation of a SIAM Fellows Program was approved by 63.5% of those who voted (26.3% of SIAM's eligible members voted in the election).
Thank you to all who voted! Thanks also to those who were willing to stand for election, knowing that only half of the candidates could be elected. Being nominated in itself is a mark of distinction indicating that a candidate is held in high esteem by his/her peers.
