Mia,

Please know we appreciate your sending MAC members the 2017 Council of Divisions Meeting Notes you took from the council session.

In my view, this report is extremely informative and insightful for MAC members.  Your council meeting overview informs our thinking regarding the council’s business agenda and helps in our AEJMC conference long-term planning and participation.

Thank you!

All the Best,
Sharon
