PRESIDENT'S
LETTER
Get
Involved in ASPB: Vote!
 |
| |
The focus
of my letters has been on the many contributions the Society makes to
plant biology and how dependent the Society is on an engagedmembership.
In my last commentary, I highlighted how you can get involved in one of
the many committees that run ASPB. Today, I have one simple request: Please
vote.
We are currently voting for several leadership positions, including president-elect,
secretary, and elected member to the Executive Committee. These individuals,
in concert with the Executive Committee, oversee the activities of the
Society with emphasis on publications, meetings, and public affairs. They
are involved in the budget process and determining the direction and objectives
for the Society. The candidates for leadership positions are committed
to the health and maintenance of a strong and effective ASPB. The nominees
for these positions bring scientific stature, vision, and a willingness
to donate their valuable time to furthering the science and community
of plant biologists.
Please take a few minutes to show your support for the Society by voting
for the candidate of your choice. You can vote by mail or online at www.aspb.org/voting.
Deadline for receipt of ballots at headquarters is June 4.
