Message from the President
On Jul 18, 2012 the Canadian Society of Animal Science President’s gavel was handed to Luigi Faucitano. Over the past year new initiatives including the website, Animal Frontiers and the bid for the World Congress on Animal Production have made a busy time for Executive members of our society!. Our last two meetings, Halifax 2011 (www.nsnet.ca/csas) and Phoenix 2012 were successful: the number of attendees was over 1/3rd of the number of members, but we hope to see more participants in the years to come! The awards banquet is our best opportunity to mix and mingle among members, network and recognize achievements of our peers and our society in addition to the tradition of introducing the new executive (See Executive tab), presenting awards and the results of the student theatre and poster competitions (See Awards tab).
We thank the outgoing Executive members: Robert Berthiaume, Candido Pomar, and Jon Meadus for their contribution to the society business. The Autumn Newsletter from your new president will provide more detail on the list of key activities for 2012-2013. It has been an honor to serve as your president this past year.
∞ Mark your agenda for the next meeting - CSAS/CMSA Banff AB Jun 18-20 ∞
Repectfully,
Julie Small, Past-President CSAS
