Letter from the Section President

Greetings GIWB Colleagues,

It is an honor to serve as the GIWB President for 2024-2025. I’d like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to our outgoing President, Megan Burke, as well as to our dedicated GIWB officers, committee chairs, members, program chairs, and our sponsors. The achievements of GIWB would not have been possible without your hard work and unwavering support over the years.

A special thank you goes to Dr. Bambi A. Hora, who has worn multiple hats within our section, including roles as secretary/treasurer, council representative, and annual meeting coordinator. Bambi’s years of dedication have been instrumental to our success. I also want to recognize Murphy Smith for his continued excellence as our newsletter editor—thank you, Murphy, for keeping us informed!

We’d love to see even more members step into leadership roles. If you’re interested in serving, or if you’d like to nominate a deserving colleague, please reach out.

Benefits of Section Membership

Everyone knows students and colleagues who are affected by matters of work-life balance or gender issues. The GIWB Section is relevant to AAA members regardless of their fields of specialization.
