As we gear-up, re-vamp and revitalize our chapter, there are many opportunities available to those of you who have been looking for a way to connect with colleagues while engaged in a rewarding activity. Our committee structure has been reconfigured to have 5 large committees instead of lots of small ones. This new structure spreads the work among a larger group and provides a way to connect with colleagues. Read on to see a description of the committees, who is currently on the committee, and how many more people are needed. Please decide on which committee strikes your fancy and get back to me (radavis@ucdavis.edu)by this WEDNESDAY. I’m happy to answer any questions. Thanks! p.s. Don’t forget our business meeting on March 5th. More on that later. Continue reading →
