Contributed by kjm34 on Jun 18, 2023 - 12:23 PM

Evolution 2023, Albuquerque, NM, Society for the Study of Evolution Members Forum, Thursday, June 22, 1:15 - 2:15 PM San Miguel 215, How can we better serve the global community of evolutionary biologists? We want to hear from you.


If you are attending the in-person portion of Evolution 2023 [1] in Albuquerque, NM, please join us for the 2023 SSE Annual Membership Business Meeting & Open Forum on Thursday, June 22 from 1:15 to 2:15 PM in San Miguel/Room 215. 

This year we will use our time to not only share updates on the society’s activities over the past year, but also to 
solicit ideas and feedback from members on how to better serve the global community of scientists that SSE aims to provide a forum for through its programs, conferences, and journals. The discussion will be led by members of the SSE Executive council, the International Committee [2], and the Graduate Student Advisory Committee [3] (GSAC).

On the list for discussion:
- future iterations of the recent International Symposium (organized by GSAC)
- virtual options for upcoming annual meetings, including next year’s joint Evolution meeting in Montreal (hosted in partnership with The European Society for Evolutionary Biology). 

Do you have ideas for how SSE can improve its positive impact, internationally? Have you participated in recent programs (e.g., EELS) or activities (e.g., mixers) sponsored by SSE to increase participation across the globe? What programs are working well and what else would you like to see happen? We want to hear from you! Please join us for this brief update and community discussion. Lunch not provided.
