Expand Up @@ -92,8 +92,23 @@ Four Steering Committee seats are open in this election, each for a 2-year term
The following steering committee members have terms that end this year:
Abbey Roelofs, Alex Koufos, Ian Cosden, Jeff Carver, and Keith Beattie.
{% endif %}
All US-RSE members in good standing as of the day nominations open are eligible
for nomination.

### Eligibility

Steering Committee (SC) candidates must have a meaningful connection to,
history with, and vested interest in the community of Research Software
Engineers (RSEs) in the United States (US). To ensure that the SC can
effectively advocate for and address the needs of the RSE community in the
US, candidates must have a demonstrated history of engagement within US-RSE.

Candidates must both live in the US and be affiliated with or retired from
a US entity or self-employed. Exceptions to the residency and affiliation
requirement will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The exception process will be led by the two Election Chairs who will create
a subcommittee that includes several other members of the US-RSE community.

### Responsibilities

The US-RSE Steering Committee sets its own meeting frequency and timing.
Currently, the Steering Committee meets every two weeks on Fridays.
