OMV-SfN members,

I just received notice that our chapter has been awarded Chapter-of-the-Year Award for 2014 by the national Society for Neuroscience! This is exciting news and an honor shared by all of our OMV-SFN members.

The outgoing OMV-SfN president, James Olson passes the 2014 SfN Chapter-of-the-Year Award plaque to the incoming president for 2015-2016, Kathleen Killian at the 2015 OMV-SfN winter meeting. Past presidents of OMV-SfN in the back row are (left to right) Lori Isaacson, Joyce Fernandez, Phyllis Callahan, Kim Seroogy, Michael Hennessey, and Mark Baccei.

The award acknowledges our high level of public outreach and focus on the development of our neuroscience community. This level of activity has been fostered by our Chapter’s leadership and is carried forward by the enthusiasm of all of our members over the years.  Congratulations to all members of OMV-SfN!

And there’s more…

I want to take this opportunity to make sure that everyone saves the date for our upcoming professional development workshop. The event will be held at Wright State University in late January and will focus on the theme “Preparing yourself for a non-academic position”.  The full day meeting will include a key note presentation, panel discussions, and break-out workshops. Details of this event will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.

James Olson
President, OMV-SfN
