Hi Folks,

The RosEXEC meeting will be followed by the RosIGI meeting in the same room at PAG. Both meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend from the Rosaceae community. We don't have a specific agenda for the RosIGI meeting, rather it will be the usual discussion of information pertaining to global Rosaceae genomics, genetics and breeding efforts.

Best regards

Dorrie

Importance: High

Dear RosEXEC,

Happy New Year!

Congratulations to the following people for being voted in to join RosEXEC in 2016!

U.S. members:

Bob Curtis

Steve Knapp

Jim McFerson

Mercy Olmstead

Vance Whitaker

International Liaisons:

David Chagne

Eric van de Weg

Between now and Sunday’s in-person meeting in San Diego, we have a Secretary to elect. This election will involve two steps:

(1) Identifying who is willing to run for Secretary (between now and Wed pm)

(2) Voting for the candidates (between Thu and Sunday’s meeting)

All new, ongoing, and rotating-off U.S. members are eligible to become Secretary candidates, except for the current officers (JD, Gayle, me, and Ksenija). However, all of you receiving this email may vote, except ex officio Dorrie. As a reminder, the Secretary for 2016 automatically becomes Vice-Chair for 2017 and then Chair for 2018. The 2016 Secretary is also responsible for taking minutes of RosEXEC minutes during 2016, including this Sunday’s meeting (although if the Sec is not in attendance, we’ll find an alternative).

So, to get this going, if you are willing to become Secretary, please email me back by this Wednesday evening.

And please let me know if you have any suggested agenda items for Sunday’s meeting.

Cameron
