Candidates for Election to the Executive Committee

Please note that some candidates are running for multiple positions. In the event that a candidate wins first place in multiple roles, they will be elected to the position of their choice. The first runner-up will be elected to the position which the winning candidate declined.

Candidates for President

I am excited to see the formation of CLANA, and would be honoured to be a part of the first full Executive Committee that takes the organization forward. I am a current board member of ICLA, have served on the boards of several other organizations, and CLANAC1 is the third conference I have chaired. I hope that CLANA will affiliate with ICLA, and will gain a significant presence in North America.

Candidates for Vice-President/President Elect

Candidates for Membership Officer and Treasurer

The establishment of CLANA is critical, both for cognitive linguistics, and as an organization anyone can turn to for language-related information. As interim Membership Officer and Treasurer, I’ve made our website, mailing list, and social media. I'd like to establish: a resources clearinghouse (e.g. databases, stimuli, protocols); a network connecting students with mentors within and beyond academia; and a media contacts list.

Candidates for Student Representative

Moreover, my servant-leadership orientation and priority for people, especially students, positions me to combine compassion with practical experience in mobilizing a student-structured agenda that meets their needs.

I am standing for election to the Cognitive Linguistics Association of North America Executive Committee for the role of Student Representative to advocate for student needs and perspectives. My goal is to create a supportive environment for student researchers, facilitating collaboration and ensuring that our voices are heard in shaping the future of cognitive linguistics.
