Dear Section Members,
It was with a welcome dose of elation that I announce the winners of this year's Section Awards and the results of the ASA elections. Please see both below, and join me in congratulating those who won, thanking those who submitted for awards and ran for service positions, and reflecting on how you might contribute to the Section in similar ways over the coming years.
We will honor award recipients at this year's CITAMS business meeting at ASA in August, and include write-ups on their achievement in the Summer Newsletter.
Best,
Jenny
