Hi everyone,
We are still seeking nominations for many of the SIMAA Executive positions and there is still time to nominate. Please note, this year (due to unforeseen circumstances) we are also seeking a new Chair, who will work closely with the Past Chair and will serve a shortened term. Please consider it!
Just a reminder that if you are interested in any of the SIMAA Exec or Committee positions, please get in touch by Friday, May 18th. Please send a short email detailing which position(s) you are interested in to Kimberly Senf ([log in to unmask]).
Thanks,
Kimberly
