A Message from the Executive Director |
Dear ECEDHA friends and family,
Happy September! We hope your academic year is starting off strong. We appreciate the support and commitment from the ECEDHA community this past year, and look forward to continued engagement in the year ahead.
There are several strong programs that benefit all of ECE and provide engagement opportunities for the full department, highlighted below. We value your contributions and highly encourage you to get involved!
ECEDHA Committee Call for Participation:
- The Program Committee, led by Agnieszka Miguel, meets monthly and is currently planning for the 2022 ECEDHA Annual Conference and ECExpo in New Orleans, Louisiana.
- The Editorial Committee meets quarterly and is preparing for their first fall meeting to discuss content contributions for winter and spring issues.
- The Awards Committee, led by Jean-Francois Boland, will reconvene later this month to kick-off the new award nominations cycle. Awards are then presented at the Annual Conference each March.
All the best,
John R. Janowiak
