by John-David Swanson

Hello everybody! Can’t believe it is November! I hope you all have had a productive fall and are ready for winter. This is a last call for nominations for this years election for RosExec. As it stands, we have a total of seven people (five from the US, and two of our international liaisons). I have received five nominations for US people and two for international Liaisons. I am in the process of contacting them and making sure they are still interested in running. Are there any other arms we can twist to get a larger pool? If so, could you let me know and I will contact them. I will have voting open mid november, in time for this years RosEXEC meeting in January. JD JD Swanson, Ph.D. Asst.
