In 2025, ESA members are being asked to review and shape a set of proposals to improve the governance structure of their professional society. The ESA Governance Upgrade proposal focuses on simplifying the ESA Governing Board structure, identifying and elevating volunteer leaders with critical skillsets, and enabling the Society to better respond to change. Join us on February 6 at 2 p.m. ET to learn more about the specific proposals for changes to ESA’s governance structure, ask questions, and share your feedback. Leaders and members of the ESA Governance Upgrade Task Force will present an overview of the proposals and then listen and respond to questions from attendees. Don’t miss this chance to shape ESA’s future. Your input is critical to ensuring ESA adapts its governance system in a way that’s right for all ESA members.
