Dear All, RosEXEC (the U.S. Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics, and Breeding Executive Committee,) is ready for another round of elections to renew membership for 2017. As a reminder, RosEXEC helps coordinate research initiatives in the U.S. Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics, and Breeding community (www.rosaceae.org/community/us_rosexec<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.rosaceae.org_commun…>). We need nominations! We are looking to add five new U.S. members (three-year terms) and two new international liaisons (two-year terms). If you are willing to join or know of someone else who would be great for RosEXEC participation, please email me at kgasic(a)clemson.edu<mailto:kgasic@clemson.edu>the following info for each nominated candidate prior to Monday 10th October<x-apple-data-detectors://7>: * name * CV (short version) * brief statement (100-word max) on proposed contributions to the RosEXEC mission Just names are good enough to get us moving – although if you are nominating someone else, it’s best if you have checked their interest first. I can contact them soon after to obtain the CV and brief statement. Past service: Five U.S. people will be rotating off as of Jan 2017, after three-year terms: Gina Fernandez, Briana Gross, Duke Lane, Greg Reighard and Gayle Volk, who served as Chair in 2015. Two international liaisons will also be rotating off after two-year terms: Michael Dossett and Riccardo Velasco. Thanks to all of these RosEXEC members for their service! As a reward, these people get a one-year respite (unless voted in as the 2017 Secretary) and so are not eligible for immediate re-election. However, those who rotated off in prior years are allowed to rejoin. Current members continuing into 2017 are, Cameron Peace (Chair -> Past Chair) Ksenija Gasic (Vice chair -> Chair), Mercy Olmstead (Secretary -> Vice Chair), Richard Bell, Jill Bushakra, Chunxian Chen, Amy Iezzoni, Kenong Xu, Bob Curtis, Steve Knapp, Jim McFerson, Vance Whitaker, Eric van de Weg (Intl), David Chagne (Intl), and Dorrie Main (ex officio). Diversity is important to any committee – we aim to represent (1) roughly equally the various Rosaceae crop production and research regions of the U.S., (2) at least a couple members each of university, government / USDA-ARS, and industry, (3) rosoid, pome, and stone fruit research focuses, roughly equally, and (4) various parts of the rest of the research world. Current members continuing into 2017 add up to: U.S. regions: 3 south, 3 east, and 6 west – slightly skewed towards west Institutions: 7 university, 2 government, 1 industry – need more industry and govt Crop groups: 3.0 rosoid, 2.8 pome, and 6.3 stone – need more rosoid and pome International: 1 NZ/Aus, 1 Europe – need Asia, S. Africa, Down Under, S. America The only mandate for new 2017 membership is that one U.S. member must be industry. Details above are just a guide for areas most needing representation. Another area that would be particularly useful to have represented is bioinformatics (in Rosaceae), given RosEXEC’s recently acquired new role as steering committee for the GDR. Our next in-person, open meeting will be within the Plant & Animal Genome (PAG) Conference in San Diego, CA on Sunday January 15, 2017 from 8-10 am<x-apple-data-detectors://12>. All welcome! Specific details will be distributed closer to the event. Timeline: Nominations to me by Monday 10th October<x-apple-data-detectors://13> Voting will be carried out 17 -31 October<x-apple-data-detectors://14> (U.S. researchers may cast votes) New members will be announced by mid-November Secretary nominations and election (internal RosEXEC process) by Christmas/the PAG meeting Regards, Ksenija RosEXEC Vice Chair and Membership Subcommittee Chair in 2016
