From the EMD President:
Welcome to the first issue of the 2018-19 EMD Newsletter. The last EMD Newsletter was published in 2010 when it was decided to try a new format to distribute information through the modernized EMD website and quarterly email blasts. The website is now well established as a resource documenting EMD’s activities and reports, however the frequency of regular email communications since 2010 has been sporadic. The purpose of reinstituting the newsletter is to help improve member engagement by formalizing a standardized format for the quarterly email blasts.
Mid-Year Leadership Meeting
The 2018 Mid-Year Leadership Meeting concluded on December 10 via teleconference. This was a continuation of the Nov. 19 meeting to take up new business items that were not discussed during the prior meeting. This was the first of the planned quarterly leadership meetings for fiscal year 2018-19. President Wayne Camp introduced the new officers: Edith Wilson (president-elect), Robert Coskey (vice president) and David Barnes (secretary), and outlined three main goals for the year:
1) member engagement,
2) servant leadership and
3) intersociety cooperation.
