Dear Rosaceae Community,
On behalf of the US Rosaceae Executive Committee I would like to extend an invitation to industry representatives and scientists to participate in this committee whose mission is to serve as a communication and coordination focal point for the US Rosaceae genomics, genetics and breeding community (more information about the mission can be found on GDR http://www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/gdr/community/rosexec/ .
This year we need to fill five slots on the committee and elect a new secretary. I have been impressed by the work of this committee and urge you to take this opportunity to participate in the coordination process during this crucial time for Rosaceae Genomics. If you are interested in participating please contact the current membership chairs Jim McFerson McFerson@treefruitresearch.com or Herb Aldwinckle hsa1@cornell.edu or Gennaro.Fazio@ars.usda.gov or Cameron Peace cpeace@wsu.edu and indicate your availability. We hope to have a ballot by our next meeting at PAG (Sunday Jan. 13 at 8 AM in the Towne Room) and hold elections shortly thereafter.
All the best,
Gennaro
