New PDA officers

[Sara da Luz Areosa Cleto]

Dear Postdocs,

Another PDA mandate has come to an end. It was a pleasure to interact with you and to bring you events that the PDA thinks will make your time at MIT a richer one. A huge thank you to the now former PDA officers, for their dedication and hard work: so few people, so many events!

The PDA was delighted to see so many new and proactive postdocs at the elections, and how so many volunteered their scarce free time to help their fellow postdocs, by offering to lead committees.

The PDA hopes you appreciate our dedication to the postdoc community, and welcomes event suggestions and your occasional help. Feel free to attend our monthly meetings<http://pda.mit.edu/get-involved-in-the-pda/come-to-pda-meetings/> and to contact us<http://pda.mit.edu/contact/>.

It is with great pleasure that we introduce to you the new PDA team:

President - Vincent Chan

Vice-President - Greg Kabachinski

Treasurer - Nagore Ortiz

Recording Secretary - Nicole Vega

Corresponding Secretary - Magali Gauthier

Advocacy Committee Chair - Co-Chairs Martin Stewart and Piyush Jain

Professional Development Committee - Usama Kadri

Community Building Committee - Co-chairs Dan Cuppoletti and Virginia Burger

Alumni Association Committee - Stuart Cook

Fundraising Committee - Nir Pour

Human Issues Committee - Markita Landry

IT Committee - Position still open! Please come to the next PDA meeting (Oct 6, noon, E25 - 202) if you are interested in chairing this committee.

A big thank you to the new chairs, for taking on these roles!

All postdocs are strongly encouraged to attend the PDA meetings<http://pda.mit.edu/get-involved-in-the-pda/come-to-pda-meetings/> and volunteer even a tiny bit of their time to help. What the PDA does benefits us all, so the more help we get the more we can do for our postdoctoral community.

Wishing you lots of success,
Sara
- on behalf of the PDA
