When AGU members vote in the upcoming election for Union and section officers, they will determine the course of the Union over the next 2 years and beyond. AGU prides itself on holding contested elections, in which members are presented with a real choice, not a preapproved slate, take it or leave it. The statements of the slate of officers begin on page 499; biographies start on page 509. The nominees listed in this issue are volunteers who seek to serve AGU, and once elected, they will undertake a wide variety of duties for the organization. Their visions of AGU's future may vary however; by carefully considering the candidates' statements and casting votes for those whose vision is most compatible with their own, members can help achieve the goals they wish to see fulfilled.
