Dear Fellow SIMians,

Thank you for taking the time to vote in the Division's election. We were eventually able to cajole and contort a quarter of you to have your say, and what you said was that Jill Brown from Bentley University will be our next Division Program Chair-Elect, and Naomi Gardberg of Baruch College and Steve Brammer of Birmingham Business School will be our next two Representatives at Large. Congrats to them, and thanks to all who were willing to stand for election this year!

An interesting twist is that Jill has another year remaining in her current role of Representative at Large. Jegoo Lee, our fearless SIM Secretary, has agreed to tack on Rep @ Large to his portfolio, and so will cover this remaining year. Thanks, Jegoo!

I extend our Division's thanks to Cynthia Clark of Bentley University and Kathleen Rehbein of Marquette University for honorably and generously completing their three-year terms as Rep @ Large and now making way for Naomi and Steve to come aboard.

My personal thanks to the remainder of the Nominating Committee, who helped make this a smooth and smart process: HJVBIII, Jamie Hendry, Vivek Soundararajan, and Pushpika Vishwanathan.

And finally, my personal thanks to the SIM Division overall. I think this completes my last official duty as part of the SIM leadership team. I'm officially out to pasture. It's been a pleasure!

Best,

Mike
