I am pleased to announce the results of the Spring 2013 SASS elections:

The new Vice President for the term 2013–15 (and President-Elect for 2015–17) is Margaret Hayford O'Leary.

The new representative for the language and literature fields on the SASS Advisory Committee, elected for a four-year term 2013–17, is Chip Oscarson.

The new representative for the history and the social sciences on the SASS Advisory Committee, also elected for a four-year term 2013–17, is Peter Leonard.

There was good participation in the voting, with strong support for each candidate. I send my congratulations to these newly elected SASS leaders and am also grateful to those who were not chosen for their willingness to be included on the ballot. My thanks go as well to Tom DuBois, who supervised the election process from beginning to end.

Margaret, Chip, and Peter will officially begin their terms of office after the completion of this year's SASS meeting.

Mark Sandberg

SASS President
