Great ideas; I appreciate your leadership so much on this.
It's important to craft a diversity strategy for these elections. I especially hope to see Dwight and you back in the game, as well as others who have lent their names to this effort.
Congrats to Karen and George!!!

Dear all:
I agree with Meta. Thanks for your votes! Jennifer notified me similarly. I was 23 votes shy of the third seat on the Research Committee.
I want to commend MAC member Dwight Brooks for a well-run campaign for the AEJMC vice presidency. I spoke with him and he appreciates everyone's
support
,
including recent phone calls and emails.
Congrats to those who were elected, including Karen Turner and George Sylvie, elected to the Teaching Committee and Research Committee, respectively.
The good point about this year's election is that we had lots of diversity on the ballot - more than I can remember from the past. I agree with Meta that we must
continue
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
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.
Let me know if you have concerns or thoughts about this proposed change.
Sincerely,
Frances

Jennifer notified me before the election results were released that I was about 20 votes shy of capturing the seat on the Accrediting Council for which I was nominated. I just want to thank you for the support
and, as I was encouraged to run this time, I want to encourage those of you who might be interested in AEJ service to toss your hats in the ring too. You never know (-;Have a great send of the semester and rewarding summer.
