Announcements from the Co-Chairs

Dr. Copelton made the following announcements:

  • Frances Dearing was welcomed as a new committee member.
  • Recent emails from Dr. Copelton regarding committee members term agreements is to ensure we have staggering terms. Some committee members agreed to two-year terms, so early next spring we will be looking at replacements and determining ways to make sure we have staggering terms. This is to safeguard against replenishing many committee members at once.
