Election Results and Other Announcements

The election results are in, and I'm pleased to announce the following officers for 2009/2010:

Elizabeth (Beth) Whipple, Chair-Elect
Maureen (Molly) Knapp, Secretary-Treasurer

As decided by the MIS executive board, Kathy Kerdolff will serve as the MIS nominee to the MLA Nominating Committee.

We wish to thank Bette Sydelko for her willingness to run for secretary-treasurer and also for all the excellent work she is doing as our current Secretary-Treasurer.

Thanks also to the other MIS Nominating Committee members (Susan Lessick and Lisa Traditi) and to all of you who voted.

For the MIS Travel Grant Awards, I'm pleased to announce that we had 10 applicants and after tallying points according to the established criteria, we determined that the 3 grant winners are:

Laura Barrett
Doug Varner
Beth Whipple

Their checks for $350 each will be presented at the MIS Business Meeting.

Thanks to Bette Sydelko for helping me in the grant award process.

We look forward to seeing you all in Hawaii!
