Hello NERVES membership. This is my first update as the new chair of the education committee. Melissa Klinberg and Kathy Tobin have done such a great job the transition to my new role has been easy as I follow the format Kathy and Melissa created. Why mess with success?
Our editorial committee has been actively working, discussing content to include in this issue of the Transmitter e-newsletter, then drafting, editing and finalizing. The e-newsletter for NERVES is produced 3 times per year. The committee had also continued to encourage our members to publish in industry journals. We routinely ask members to report on their publications so that we can keep a historical record for NERVES.
The NERVES Nominating Committee would like to submit the following slate of nominees for your consideration and support*.
We will call for a final vote for these open officer positions on Thursday, August 19th at noon.

Virtual Mini Conference Recap
Thank you to the NERVES member who attended our recent Virtual Mini-Conference on April 22! We received great feedback from our members about the presenters and their topics. If you missed it, we are offering the recordings from our two presenters Dr. David DeLong and Mike Heaton. We didn’t record the Breakout Roundtable Hot Topic Discussions – you had to virtually “be there” to participate in this amazing session of networking with your colleagues. NERVES Roundtable discussions are a true gem, so we hope everyone will participate in them at the upcoming Orlando Annual Meeting.
