The results of the 2010 APHA section elections are in.  Please join me in congratulating the elected members:

• Chair-Elect: Marsha Spence
• Secretary-Elect: Leah Rimkus
• Section Councilors: Beth Dixon and Carole Garner
• Governing Councilors: John Knoebel, Gail Woodward-Lopez, Geraldine S. Perry

The APHA Annual Meeting is just around the corner.  Program information is available in this newsletter; while you decide which sessions to attend, please also take a moment to sign up for some time at the FNS booth.  Volunteering at the booth is a great way to network with colleagues!

This newsletter also contains several articles around the topic of women in agriculture, including the reflections of a woman who runs a CSA in this year's Annual Meeting site, Denver.

As my term as FNS chair comes to a close, I am proud of what FNS has accomplished in the past year, and I look forward to passing the gavel at the Annual Meeting.
