Ro, as she is called, has most recently been Director of Operations for the American Society for Cell Biology, where she also served as Director of Publications and as Managing Editor of "Molecular Biology of the Cell". Her previous background includes positions with the National Science Teachers Association and with the West Haven and Orange, Connecticut school systems as a teacher of the deaf. Ro has a Masters degree in business from John Hopkins University, a Masters in education from Southern Connecticut State University, and a Bachelors degree in French from California State University. We welcome Ro Kampman to the Society, and look forward to a productive and pleasant interaction. The Executive Board also wishes to express our deep gratitude to Emily Gray, who stepped back in as acting Executive Director for the Society, and without whom we might not have made it. Special thanks also goes to Carolyn Kulik who has worked long and hard, under trying circumstances, to keep the annual meeting running smoothly and on time. We also appreciate the dedicated work and team spirit of the other Office staff members, all of whom put in their full team effort.
