Dear Ecological Section Members,

Cynthia Huebner is the only nomination for our secretary/ program chair position, thus we will not need to have a formal election. Congratulations and welcome to Cynthia. Jeff and I are looking forward to working with you.

For anyone interested in supporting the BSA Ecological Section and running for a section office, Jeff Walck's term as the Vice-Chair will be ending after the meeting next summer. We will be calling for nominations in the spring.

Sincerely,

Diane Byers

Mission: The Botanical Society of America exists to promote botany, the field of basic science dealing with the study and inquiry into the form, function, development, diversity, reproduction, evolution, and uses of plants and their interactions within the biosphere.

The objectives of The Society are to: sustain and provide improved formal and informal education about plants; encourage basic plant research; provide expertise, direction, and position statements concerning plants and ecosystems; and foster communication within the professional botanical community, and between botanists and the rest of humankind through publications, meetings, and committees.
