PAST PRESIDENT
Robin Bellinder
The Awards committee members for the 2006 annual meeting were: Robin Bellinder (Chair),
Scott Glenn, David Mayonado, Jeff Derr, and Brian Olson. We reviewed nominations for the
Award of Merit, Distinguished Member, Outstanding Educator, and Outstanding Researcher.
Recommendations were submitted to the Executive Committee for approval at the October
Board meeting. At the recommendation of the Board, we will be presenting a special award to
Rob Hedberg, thanking him for his contributions to the Society during his tenure as Director of
Science Policy. The student paper contest judges will be Scott Glenn (Chair), David Mayonado,
Jeff Derr, and Brian Olson. Paul Stachowski and Grant Jordan will chair the Poster Judging
committee and the Photo Judging committee, respectively.
The archives for my year as President have been given to the Archivist, Dan Kunkel. The
Archives contained the 2005 Program, Volume 59 Proceedings, the Awards Presentation of the
59 th annual meeting, April, August, and November 2004 Newsletters, Minutes of the EC
meetings in January, March, August, October, 2004 and January, 2005, Minutes of the January
5, 2005 annual Business Meeting, and the Manual of Operating Procedures (MOP’s) that were
revised in October, 2005. Added this year to the Archives were the nomination letters for the
Society’s Awards recipients.
The Awards brochure has been prepared and the MOP’s have been revised. Copies of both
documents will be available at the annual meeting in January, 2006. The new MOP’s include
general revisions and clarifications throughout as well as the new rules for the Northeastern
Collegiate Weed Science Contest. Plaques for the Award recipients, the special award, the outgoing
Secretary/Treasurer, and out-going President have been purchased.
