Abstract :
I´d like to start out by welcoming the new officers of the Society. At our Board of Directors meeting in Raleigh, NC we elected the following new officers for the EMC Society: President Elect — Bob Scully Vice President, Communications — Flavio Canavero Vice President, Member Services — Bob Davis Vice President, Standards — Don Heirman Vice President, Technical Services — Colin Brench Vice President, Conferences — Bruce Archambeault Treasurer — John LaSalle Secretary — Janet O´Neil The Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary terms are for 2013/2014. Bob Scully will serve as President Elect in 2013, and then take over as President for the 2014/2015 term. All the new officers have hit the ground running and smooth transitions have taken place. I look forward to working with all the officers in 2013.
