This will be a great opportunity to congratulate and welcome our incoming Chair, Alice Cepeda. We also need to establish committees and to develop next year’s sessions, and if you would like to suggest other agenda items, please let me know. Also, if you have ideas for 2015 sessions, feel free to send them to me via email before the meeting. We can have up to three independent sessions and up to seven co-sponsored sessions. Next year’s theme has not yet been determined, but if we have ideas, I can reach out to other division chairs to explore their interest and report back to you at the business meeting. I’ve learned that starting the process in advance can make it easier to secure the sponsored sessions we really want.
