Dear IAMSE Colleagues
This winter has been busy for the Board. We have been evaluating applications for a new paid editor for our journal, and have just selected Peter de Jong from Leiden. You will recall that he was program chair for our excellent meeting in the Netherlands last summer. We are very excited about this, and hope that Peter will expand our international outreach and continue our tradition of fine scholarship and cutting edge faculty development. Stay tuned for more updates on our journal at the New Orleans meeting.
By the way, please make plans to attend the 2010 annual conference now. Susan Pasquale and her intrepid program committee have planned a great program for you, providing both education and a renewal of your contacts with your IAMSE colleagues, all in festive New Orleans. Recreate in the French Quarter, join our Grand Extravaganza on Tuesday in the bayous and mansions of Louisiana (but watch for alligators), and soak in the characteristic ambiance of the most distinctive of American cities The IAMSE website has all the details and program previews.
I hope you will take the opportunity to review our pending Board and Bylaws elections. Several committees have worked hard to revise our procedures for selecting our officers so that they have adequate continuity to grow in their positions, yet be elected from the membership at large, not just from sitting Board members. Please read the information and make an informed vote on both the Bylaws and on our Board candidates, who will lead the organization in the three years of their terms. We rely on you, the members, to provide our organization’s forward direction by exercising your vote.
I hope all of you have a great spring, and look forward to talking in New Orleans.
Frazier Stevenson
President, IAMSE
