Hello everybody!

I hope you all had a wonderful and productive summer and are all ready for the fall to start!

It is now time to start thinking about RosExec elections for the upcoming year.

Five US people will be rotating off at the end of this year (Kate Evans, Jay Norelli, Mercey Olmstead, Janet Slovin, and Vance Whitaker).

Now, looking at the numbers, we will have the following make up next year with those left: Inst: Univ 6, Gvt 4, Ind 2 Region: South 2, West 6, East 4

So we really need people from industry and/or the South to help bolster representation.

We will be looking for nominations over the next few weeks. If you know of someone who may be interested in serving on RosExec, please have them contact me and I can help them, or send me their information and I can contact them. We will need a short Bio from them.

I have a timeline in place as follows: Nominations to me By Oct 15, 2013 Voting will be carried out Between Nov 1-15, 2013 Secretary nominations and Election Early December Announcement of Results at PAG

Once again, hope you are looking forward to your new semesters and look forward to catching up with you soon!
