Dear US Based Rosaceae Genomics and Genetics Community,
I would like to thank all community members who nominated candidates for
RosEXEC. The list of nominees obtained so far does not have a single Maloideae
or industry candidate.
Therefore, the RosEXEC Membership subcommittee is extending nominations
until Friday Dec 4th to give you the opportunity to nominate Maloideae
members and industry members.
Please make sure to please confirm
with the prospective candidates that they are willing to be nominated and
potentially serve before you submit them as
candidates to me.
A copy of the previous letter is pasted below.
Thank you,
Nahla Bassil, Chair, RosEXEC

It is time to nominate the 2010 USRosEXEC members.
After three/four years of excellent service the following US members are
rotating off the RosEXEC committee:
The committee thus loses:
Members who will continue to serve in 2009
include Nahla Bassil, Chris Dardick, Amit Dhingra, Jim Luby, Gayle Volk, Angela
Baldo, Jim Hancock, Jim McFerson, Bryon Sosinski, Philip Stewart and Cameron
Peace, so no need to nominate them as they will already be serving.
To help maintain a balanced committee, we are asking
you to nominate, by email, research and industry community members of whom one
should have a major focus on Rosoideae, two on Maloideae and two on
Amygdaloideae. Individuals with mixed focus can also be nominated. Please
take this into account when you nominate candidates and please confirm with the prospective candidates that they are
willing to be nominated and potentially serve before
you submit them as candidates to Nahla.
International liason member rotating off this year include
Sue Gardiner (Aus/NZ), Herman Silva (South Americ) and Dan Sargeant (Europe).
Remaining members through 2010 are Jasper Rees (Africa) and Eric van de Weg
(Europe). Two new members are needed to serve two year terms where we are
seeking at least one to be outside of Europe. Please nominate candidates
and again confirm their interest before submitting your nominations.
US Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics and Breeding community members may nominate as
many candidates as you wish at this stage by sending a list of the nominees to
membership chair, Nahla Bassil at nahla.bassil@ars.usda.gov.
You have until November 20th to nominate candidates. Following these
nominations, we will compile a candidate list for the actual vote via a
webform. If you have any questions please contact Nahla Bassil at the
aforementioned email address.
Many thanks
