This special edition of Eos focuses on the individuals you will choose to lead the Union over the next 2–6 years. The candidates are featured in this issue. You will also find information on their responsibilities. What I want to emphasize is your opportunity to contribute to this process. Elections in scientific and engineering societies often are decided by only 10–20% of the members. AGU's elections have had similar participation. It's time to change that.
