LETTER FROM THE PAST CHAIR

Elizabeth Gillstrom, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Dear ITAIS,

It feels like just yesterday I was writing my first letter as chair-elect! Fast forward nearly 2 years, and here I am wishing you all farewell!

Big thanks to our member-at-large Lara Wallace for planning such a wonderful ITAIS dinner in Seattle this year. Our annual meeting was held Wednesday, 22 March at 6:45 pm in Seattle, and it gave us an opportunity to welcome the new steering committee and thank the outgoing officers.

I’d also like to take a moment here and name the wonderful team that has supported us this past year: Stephen Looney, Liz Tummons, Lara Wallace, Morag Burke, Elise Geither, Maureen Templeman, and Diane Cotsonas.

If you have any questions related to the ITAIS, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth
