Statement
As a Sigma Xi Member since 1976, I hope my professional experience and collegial network will enhance the efforts of our Nominations Committee. Sigma Xi’s elected officers are critical for building on our many strengths as an interdisciplinary, chapter-based society. Having served our Sigma Xi community in several capacities over the years, I recognize both the honor and responsibility of the Nominations Committee. Committed and effective leadership is necessary for the success of all our many and varied endeavors. I believe my interdisciplinary background and extensive collegial network, coupled with my past service to Sigma Xi through elected positions at the local, regional and national level will complement the work of this exceptionally important committee.
