President-elect</em></p></div> <p>Benjamin Zaitchik, a professor of Earth and planetary sciences and department chair at Johns Hopkins University, has a diverse background in geosciences and public policy. His AGU involvement includes founding leadership roles in the GeoHealth section, participation in the AGU delegation to the UNFCCC COP28, and serving as a science advisor for <a href="https://eos.org/"><em>Eos</em></a>. Zaitchik’s career spans academia, government research and policy, providing him with a broad perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing the Earth and space sciences.</p> <p>With 14.45% of our eligible membership participating in the election, Zaitchik was chosen to serve a two-year term as president-elect beginning in 2025. He will become AGU president-elect in 2025, and AGU president in 2027.</p> <p>This year’s election also featured the first implementation of ranked choice voting in a few key AGU elections. Additionally, both candidates for president-elect will serve on the Board of Directors—Zaitchik as president-elect and Kevin Noone as a director—allowing AGU to benefit from both outstanding candidates’ leadership and expertise.</p> <p><strong>Planning for the 2025-2026 Term</strong><br /> Newly elected Board and Council members will begin familiarizing themselves with their roles in the coming weeks by observing the upcoming Board and/or Council meetings. In early 2025, they’ll join continuing members for a comprehensive leadership orientation. These sessions will ensure a smooth transition and alignment with AGU’s strategic goals.</p> <p style="text-align: left"><strong>Newly Elected Board, Council, Section and College of Fellows Members</strong><br /> The Leadership Development/Governance Committee is pleased to announce the following newly elected members for the 2025-2026 term:</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">BOARD OF DIRECTORS</span><br /> President-Elect: Ben Zaitchik<br /> General Secretary (Treasurer): Adrian Borsa<br /> International Secretary: Jean Pierre Ometto<br /> Director (Early-Career): Natalie Raia<br /> Directors: Tanya Furman, Kevin J.
