Thanks Anita, I appreciate your thoughtful and supportive words. MAC is stronger today because of you!
MAC Colleagues: I know that some members have expressed concerns over some of the threads on our listserv. I cannot imagine why would create a listserv and not use it. I also think we need more, not less communication. So at the risk of alienating some even more, I have to say publically how much I appreciate those of you who supported me (again) in my second consecutive unsuccessful attempt to lead AEJMC. I will continue to serve AEJMC, MAC, and as many important initiatives that my time and schedule allows such as the Institute for Diversity.
It's the least I can do to say "thank you" to the many people who have supported me.

Congrats to George & Karen. I applaud all of the others who threw their hats in the ring this year--Meta, Dwight, Christina and the others--proud of you. Dwight, especially proud of you. Don't tire of doing the right thing.

I agree with Meta that we must continue[https://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png] to "toss our hats in the ring." For the MAC business meeting in San Francisco, I am putting on the agenda, a discussion about election processes, strategies and representation. Let me know if you have additional agenda items.

> On a related note, one of the format changes we plan to try for this year's MAC research paper[https://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png] awards is to present the awards during the paper session rather than at the business meeting. Paper winners will receive the awards at the end of the paper session in which they present. The reason for this change is to allow more time for discussion at the division meeting as members have mentioned they would like to delve into more topics, but we seem to run out of time each year.
