Dear Members of the Game Theory Society,
According to the Bylaws of our Society, elections for the Officers of the Society have to be held every two years. The Officers (the President, the Past President, the Executive Vice-President, the Vice-President for Communications, and the Secretary/Treasurer) are responsible for the ongoing operations of the Society. New officers are elected by the members of the Council, upon a proposal drawn up by the Steering Committee, using the system of approval voting.
The elections took place last month, and we would like to inform you of the outcome.
The candidates proposed were:
- for President: Eric Maskin (to succeed Sergiu Hart)
- for Executive Vice-President: Roger Myerson (to succeed Eric Maskin)
- for Vice-President for Communications: Bernhard von Stengel (to continue another term)
- for Secretary and Treasurer: Federico Valenciano (to continue another term)
In the election 27 Council members (out of 36) voted, and all candidates received unanimous support, hence, were elected. The newly elected officers will take up their positions on November 1, 2010.
We thank all the people who contributed their effort towards this election, and wish the new officers all the best in fulfilling their duties.
