APS general election

Results of the 2025 General Election

APS is pleased to announce the results of the 2025 General Election. Congratulations to our newly elected leaders! All terms will begin on January 1, 2026.

Thank you to all who voted, and special thanks to our election candidates. As a volunteer-driven organization, APS is grateful for your continued involvement and support.

The winners of the 2025 APS General Election are as follows:

Vice president

The 2026 APS vice president will serve as APS president in 2028. The vice president is an officer of the Society and a member of the APS Board of Directors, which is responsible for the overall governance, affairs, and financial well-being of APS.

Nominating Committee chair-elect

The chair-elect of the Nominating Committee will serve a three-year term, becoming chair in 2027. The Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying candidates for the APS General Election and nominating individuals for the APS Board of Directors.

General councilor

While most councilors are elected by an individual APS unit, general councilors are elected by the full APS membership. They represent the membership-at-large, ensuring that a broad range of perspectives is reflected on the Council of Representatives.

International councilor

International councilors reside outside of the United States and bring a global perspective to the Council of Representatives and valuable connections to the worldwide physics community.

APS wishes to acknowledge all of this year’s candidates for their willingness to volunteer time and help guide the Society’s best interests.

Nominees for and holders of APS Honors (prizes, awards, and fellowship) and official leadership positions are expected to meet standards of professional conduct and integrity as described in the APS Ethics Standards. Violations of these standards may disqualify people from consideration or lead to revocation of honors or removal from office.
