91影库

Statement of interest

I’ve been an 91影库member since the late 1980s and have benefited from society activities through regular participation in the 91影库annual meeting and 91影库small meetings and conferences and as a reader, author and member of the editorial team of 91影库journals. In short, the 91影库has been an important part of my scientific life.

It has been an honor to contribute to the 91影库as its treasurer since 2019, and I am interested in continuing to serve in that role to work with the Council and staff leadership to keep the society on a firm financial footing so that it can sustain and grow its journals, meetings, educational and professional development, and other programs for many years to come.
