<div class="">Dear Hadron Spectroscopy Working Group Members,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The current HSWG Chair, Bryan McKinnon, will be ending his term on August 31, 2025, and we need to elect a new</div>
<div class="">HSWG Chair. The vote will take place via a webpage that will be setup in the near future after the full list of chair</div>
<div class="">candidates is collected. On behalf of the nominating committee, consisting of Marco Battaglieri and myself, I am writing</div>
<div class="">to ask you for nominations for the next HSWG Chair. Self-nominations are welcome. Nominated colleagues should be full</div>
<div class="">CLAS members. All Full and Term members who are also declared members of HSWG are allowed to vote once the voting</div>
<div class="">is open.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This position is important to serve the CLAS Collaboration to organize/chair the HSWG meetings at the CLAS Collaboration</div>
<div class="">meetings, to provide a point of contact on data analysis, and to organize and track HSWG-associated analysis reviews. The</div>
<div class="">successful candidate will also serve as a member of the CLAS Coordinating Committee (CCC). All nominated candidates who</div>
<div class="">agree to run for the HSWG chair will need to provide a short statement on their qualifications that will be attached to the</div>
<div class="">election page for HSWG voting members to consider as they make their choice.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please, send your nominations to the organizing committee members by July 30 (5 p.m. EDT). The vote will be opened on August 1 </div>
<div class="">and close on August 29. The new HSWG chair term will begin on September 1.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask. More information on the CLAS governance (i.e., the charter and bylaws)</div>
<div class="">is at the site below.</div>
