The Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence is currently accepting nominations for new members for the June 2016 cycle! PACE accepts nominations for new members twice a year, in January and in June.
Nominations are due to secretary Joe Nutter at [email protected] by Sunday, June 19th at 11:59 PM EST.
PACE has many objectives, among which are:
• to promote and encourage the growth of quality high school invitational tournaments around the country,
• to provide guidance or assistance to other colleges or high schools that wish to organize such tournaments,
• to encourage innovation and creativity in academic competition,
• to establish visibility for college academic team programs that run high school tournaments,
• to foster cooperation among college and high school programs in preparation for upcoming regional, state, or national tournaments,
• to encourage participation of teams in tournaments across the country prior to regional, state, or national tournaments,
• to allow all teams adequate opportunity to practice, compete, and socialize among other fellow competitors,
• to produce the question set for and run the National Scholastic Championship each year.
If you know someone who is exceptionally qualified to contribute to these goals, please consider sending their name, along with a short statement of their track record of contributions thus far, to the email address above.
Please note that current high school students are not eligible. Self-nominations are discouraged.
Membership in PACE is elective, i.e. the current membership of PACE will elect a set of persons from among the nominees to receive offers of membership in PACE. A list of newly elected members will be announced in July.
If you have any questions about what membership eligibility or membership expectations, let me know! You can also read more about what PACE does and how membership works at our website.
