Fellow herpers, This is a reminder that the AHS annual meeting will be held via teleconference at *1PM on Sunday November 29th* (more information below from previous email). We are still looking for folks that are willing to serve as officers over the next year. There are currently two people running for Vice-President but no candidates for Treasurer. We would really appreciate someone willing to step up to handle our finances and organize some fundraising for the organization. If you are interested in *ANY* position, including the Presidency, please do not hesitate to nominate yourself by responding to this email.
If anyone has any items that they would like to see added to the agenda, please also forward those to me at your earliest convenience. Please also remember to renew your membership in the organization if you have not done so recently! Membership dues support our research, grants, and programming. If you have questions about your membership status, please contact our secretary Mark Spangler ([email protected]). Thank-you to all who have kept their membership current! With gratitude, Joshua T.
