Dear ACSANZ Members, Since the announcement of the termination of the Understanding Canada Program and the cancellation of the 2012 ACSANZ Biennial Conference, the ACSANZ Executive has been discussing how best the Association might continue to serve its members. One priority is the election of a new ACSANZ Executive Committee. The May 2012 Call for Nominations resulted in the re-election of Margaret Stephenson as Secretary and the election of Benjamin Authers as a General Committee Member, and I congratulate Margaret and Ben on their election to these positions. We still, however, require nominations for the positions of President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and one General Committee Member. I, therefore, direct you to the Call for Nominations posted below by Stewart Gill, who is acting as the Returning Officer for this election. I thank you for your continued support of ACSANZ, and I welcome your comments and suggestions about how the Association can act on your behalf to further Canadian Studies in Australia and New Zealand and to support Canadian Studies internationally. With best wishes, Debra Dudek, President
