As the spring term fast approaches, we are about ready to have our election for a new board. So far we have almost enough candidates for a full board, but we would really like to see more participation from our membership!

Please consider running for a position! In particular, we need at least one more candidate (preferably more than one) for the member at large positions. This is a great way to get involved without having to do too much. And we would love to see some participation on the board from our CNMS colleagues!

If you are interested or have questions about any board positions, please email tbhalla@umbc.edu.

Many thanks!
