Dear GRC and Colleagues:
It is my pleasure to announce the election results for the GRC Board;
please see below. Congratulations to all of the nominees and thank you
to the members that voted! All positions will begin 12 June 2017 (i.e.,
day after the 2017 International Symposium on Ranaviruses, ISR). In
addition, Jesse Brunner will become the Director and I will move into
the Past Director position on this date. Thank you very much to all of
the current Board members for their service over the past 4 years. There
have been many accomplishments, including creation of the GRC website
and GRRS, incorporating the GRC with non-profit and tax exempt status,
hosting two ISRs (2013 and 2015), providing two training workshops
during the 2015 ISR, publishing the first book on ranaviruses, and
leading an online course over ranaviruses in 2016. Although we
completed a lot of tasks, many more opportunities for organization
growth and outreach exist. Jesse and I look forward to interacting with
another group of motivated professionals dedicated to advancing the
understanding of ranaviruses. As members of the GRC or as interested
scientists or students, please do not hesitate to reach out to the GRC
Board member in your region for advice on ranaviruses or to see how you
can get involved in GRC activities. We also are always looking for
ideas to better serve members, so please share your ideas the Board. If
you are not a member, you can join here:

We look forward to seeing those that will be in Budapest for the 2017
ISR!!!

All the Best, Matt
