  Running for office is an important contribution to our Society, and I especially want to thank those who ran and
  were not elected this round. At the same time, I encourage everyone in the Society, especially the young
  investigators to get involved by joining a committee, joining a SIG and running for an office. 
  Your research interests and passions for getting things done help to make us a strong and vibrant Society.

  Thank you to all of the candidates and their willingness to serve EMS.
