We are seeking nominations for individuals to serve a three-year term (U.S. members) and two-year term (international liaisons) on
the U.S. Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics, and Breeding Executive Committee (RosEXEC). There are five open seats on the 15 member Committee and 3 open seats for international liaisons.
Please consider nominating a colleague you believe would contribute to supporting the mission of RosEXEC:
· Serve
as a communication and coordination focal point for the U.S. Rosaceae genomics, genetics and breeding community.
· Define
research priorities based on input from the industry and research community.
· Facilitate
scientific interaction and foster dynamic research teams.
· Promote
research priorities.
· Coordinate
educational efforts from the research community to the industry and the public.
Committee members are expected to participate in quarterly telephone conference meetings.
Nominators must contact nominees and confirm willingness to serve on RosEXEC. Nominees should then submit a brief bio and vision
statement. A community-wide election will be managed by the Genome Database for Rosaceae in April.
