Comments from the Editor
Are you a member of the ABO Section, or are you an active member of the ABO Section? The difference is tremendous. The Spring ABO Reporter includes two links to information for members to “Get Involved!” The information provided regarding ABO Standing Committees and Officers is simply copied from the bylaws (Available on ABO website - see below). When I was a brand new faculty member, I was fortunate enough to have a mentor who was an active section member (ATA Section). She encouraged me to get involved in AAA Section(s) and guided / advised me regarding the type of involvement (e.g. time commitment required and required experience for various positions). If you want some guidance or information, contact any ABO officer or committee chairperson. Contact information for each is provided under Section Information – Officers on the ABO website, at: http://aaahq.org/abo/abo.htm Finally, attend the ABO activities at the AAA meeting in August and the ABO Research Conference in October. And, do not just attend; get involved by submitting or reviewing a paper. Heck, the moderator’s name is published in the schedule and that person simply introduces the papers and researchers.
