Unfortunately summer break is nearly over. Hopefully everyone has had time to enjoy the great weather that we have had over the past months. Our WMSHP meetings began their summer vacation back in May following the very successful 41st Annual WMSHP Spring Seminar. Cherie Woodhams put a lot of effort into the planning and coordination of this meeting, and deserves recognition for all her hard work. This year has been unique as far as the role of WMSHP president goes. Cherie had agreed to stay on as president for an additional 6 months, and, beginning with this newsletter, I am assuming those duties for the remainder of the year. On behalf of the WMSHP members, I would like to thank Cherie for everything she has done during her tenure as president.

As summer comes to a close, we are resuming our monthly meetings beginning with the meeting on September 9th at St. Mary’s Hospital on the topic of “Radiation Countermeasures, What’s the Buzz” presented by Greg Pratt.

Nominations for board positions are open for any interested members. Contact a current board member via email or at the next meeting if you are interested in being nominated for a position. Also be sure to check out www.wmshp.net and see how you can find WMSHP on Twitter and Facebook.
