Hi OETG members,
It was great to see so many people at the conference last week! I wanted to follow-up on one of our topics from the business meeting. I reported a number for our membership that we all felt was surprisingly low. At the time of the conference, I was waiting on feedback from HFES staff on where the drop was coming from. I want to report back to you that it turns out there was an error in reporting. Our numbers are maintaining a similar number from last year. According to official records, we have 235 members, although looking at HFES connect as I write this message the number is listed at 245. So while we don't have a drop in membership, we do still want to have more opportunities for our members to interact and be engaged. Our next newsletter will highlight some of the planned activities for the upcoming year and we hope that you will all participate in these activities through the year, as well as volunteer to lead activities.
Best,
Leia Stirling on behalf of the OETG leadership team
