2024 annual meeting: Philadelphia, PA

Business at the SIG Meeting

1. Status review and planning for growth

Andrew Peckham provided details about number of members on listserv (>50!), number that responded to survey (>20!), and reviewed that there were 8 posters from 3 different research groups presented at the SIG Expo at 2024.

2. Dues

Dues historically had been $20/year for faculty and students are requested to contribute what they can. No dues were collected at the meeting.

3. Previous suggestions for improving listserv

Create a list: Name, email, current projects
When preparing talks, compile symposiums. SIG members could submit talks, and the SIG can compile symposiums and submit.
Sending around information, job offers, etc
