Selection Committee

A special committee consisting of the following will be constituted by the Executive Committee of the Society for inviting nominations and selecting the Lecturers. The committee will function for two years (being co-terminus with the term of the elected office bearers) will select, each year, the speaker for the lecture due in that year. The process of choosing the Lecturer will start one year before the given lecture is scheduled to be delivered.

1. President of the Society

2. Two Vice-Presidents*

3. Secretary (Convenor)

4. Three members nominated by the Executive Committee

(*One of the Vice-Presidents (determined in alphabetical order) shall act as chairman in case the President resigns from the Committee or is not available for the meeting. In case the President and both Vice-Presidents are not available, the members of the Selection Committee will elect a Chairman from amongst themselves).

The nominated members of the Committee should be members of the Society (with at least two years' standing) and should preferably represent different areas of Cell Biology. To ensure a healthy tradition, no member of the selection committee will be eligible for nomination for the Lecturership. In the event of a selection committee member being nominated for the award and his agreeing to be considered, he/she shall resign from the Selection Committee. In his/her place a new member will be co-opted by the Committee. The tenure of the Selection Committee shall be co-terminus with that of the Executive Committee and each selection committee. The selection committee members cannot be re-nominated for the next committee excepting those who may be elected as office-bearers (President, Vice-Presidents and Secretary) and thus would serve in ex-officio capacity.
