The future of our profession and society is in the hands of today’s students. The society recognizes this in several ways. One major effort is through our research grants program that awards ~$10,000 each Spring from our various Memorial Funds. The second major effort is by sponsoring Student Night, a competition of local students wherein they present the results of their research to the Society. First prize for the best paper is $1000. Student night is only ten days away. I hope you will join with me in encouraging our future by attending Student Night.
You might have thought elections were over, but NO! There’s more! Our nomination for 2006 President-elect is William Nesse. And then for councilors, rather than keep John Lufkin as a councilor for 5 years to do with what we see fit, he is being returned to the public at large. The nominations for his seat and an empty seat that needs to be filled are Scott Minor and John Keller. The December newsletter sent to each regular and honorary member of the Society shall include a written ballot containing the names of all nominees. Voting will take place in December.
