Dear AEJMC & MAC member:

This is to share with you sad news that Jennifer sent out to the AEJMC Board this morning.  Von Whitmore was a dedicated worker in AEJMC and a dear friend to many of us.

I am sending this message to both the outgoing and incoming AEJMC Boards.

Von Whitmore died this morning from ovarian cancer.  I just had a message from one of her colleagues at Kent State.

Von had been a member of the AEJMC Board for the past 4 years as vice chair and chair of the Council of Divisions. 

As I have more information I will send that along. 

We will also send an email out to the Council of Divisions. 

Jennifer
