Mery Molenaar<\/strong> and Heike Holthaus<\/strong> were introduced as our incoming Administrator and Assistant Administrator, respectively, for the 2021-2023 term. Many thanks to outgoing Administrator Carola Berger for her dedication and great work as division Administrator and Assistant Administrator. We are pleased that she will remain a member of the Leadership Council as co-Facebook Admin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nNow that Heike has moved into her new role as Assistant Admin, we are currently looking for a co-blog editor<\/strong> to help Pavitra Baxi. Please let us know at divisionS_TD@atanet.org<\/a> if you are interested or would like to find out more about the role. Annual Meeting agenda, minutes and slides are available on our website under Resources > Annual Division Meetings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nATA62 Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We held our division networking dinner during ATA62 in Minneapolis. Because of the hybrid nature of the conference, the dinner was smaller than usual with 14 attendees, but nevertheless a lot of fun. Check out the pictures of our dinner under Events > Photo Gallery<\/a>. If you have any other conference pictures, we would love to add them, so please email them to divisionS_TD@atanet.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur Distinguished Speaker, Dr. Nic Jelinski<\/strong>, spoke on Saturday, October 30. His presentations \u201cThe Magic of Soil\u201d and \u201cPermafrost-Affected Soils in Alaska\u201d were very well received. Recaps of these and other S&TD sessions will be posted on our blog in the next few months, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\nLooking Ahead to ATA63 in Los Angeles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is never too early to start thinking about the next ATA conference. Do you have any Distinguished Speaker ideas<\/strong> for ATA63? Nominee forms are due at ATA HQ in January, so now is the time to email us at divisionS_TD@atanet.org<\/a>. Or, if you would like to help with next year\u2019s division dinner<\/strong> in Los Angeles, you can also email us at the same email address. Restaurant suggestions are always welcome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
