      We are looking for new members to join the Microbial Ecology Section Leadership (05\/17\/2024)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      If you\u2019re interested in serving, please get in touch with Lily.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 We have had to shuffle things around a bit this year so we will be electing TWO new officers, one to start as secretary, and the other to start as vice chair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      Secretary Responsibilities: The secretary will move into Vice-Chair and then Chair roles (3 year commitment). The secretary will work with the chair and vice chair to create member programming\/activities; review applications for student travel awards; arrange information booths at annual meetings; manage the section budget; plan business meetings and mixers; and in general, promote microbial ecology within and outside ESA.<\/p>\n

      Both the secretary and vice chair will get a lot of guidance from the chair and former section chairs so that they are prepared to take the reigns when it is their turn to serve as chair. The Microbial Ecology section meets remotely about once a month to plan and execute all of the events. It\u2019s a great group of people to work with and get to know. Serving in the section leadership requires some work but it is a rewarding experience where you can build lasting connections and positively contribute to ESA.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
