From ESA President Sharon Collinge \u2013 seeking your ideas:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As I launch into a year as ESA President, I am looking forward to collaborating with everyone in the ESA community to advance our mission. In addition to continuing our focus on making ESA more inclusive through DEIJ activities, I am seeking your ideas to advance the ESA Visioning Project<\/a>, a new effort announced in August that will be coordinated by the Governing Board and other ESA leaders.<\/p>\n

This project will span over a year, will engage students, former members, early career professionals, current members, international members, industry, government, faculty, and others in a dialogue about where ecology is today and what ESA needs to be tomorrow in response. This project is our chance to intentionally discuss and design the Society\u2019s trajectory for the next ten years.<\/p>\n

As we begin these dialogs, we are seeking your ideas on key visioning questions. We gathered quite a few comments on a poster stationed in the ESA booth at the Annual Meeting in Montreal.\u00a0 Now we would like to allow all of you to provide your ideas.<\/p>\n

The goal is not to identify problems, something\u00a0negative<\/em>\u00a0to move\u00a0away from,<\/em>\u00a0but instead a vision, <\/em>something\u00a0positive<\/em>\u00a0to move\u00a0toward<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
