Throughout this period, the individual serves on the Executive Committee and contributes to the Division's strategic direction, programming priorities, and governance decisions.

The Historian safeguards our institutional memory and procedural integrity. Responsibilities include maintaining accurate records of meetings and policies, communicating the Division's history and achievements (in collaboration with the Newsletter Editor), providing an annual written report to the Division Chair, and serving as parliamentarian with respect to Division and Academy by-laws and Robert's Rules of Order. This role is essential to continuity and governance. It requires precision, reliability, and a strong sense of stewardship.
𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗚𝗨𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦:
You may nominate up to three Management History members for each role. You are not required to nominate for all positions. Please ensure that nominees are current members of the Management History Division. The nomination form includes an optional "Supporting information/comments" section.
