One of my top priorities as ASTS President is to increase inclusion of more of our Society’s membership in setting the society’s priorities and direction. I aim to expand participation of all members from small and large programs in ASTS activities, including involving members in the strategic planning process to ensure transparency and communication within the organization. As part of this commitment, we initiated a call to membership and included members outside the council and committee structure in our strategic planning process. Having all your feedback is very important so if you would like to contact me with any comments or suggestions, please feel free to do so at osama.gaber@asts.org.
