I'm sure how the new system will get started. Perhaps Dr. Helen Miner will contact all of us as our center sponsor and tell us how she wants us to begin. In the interim we might want to start thinking of who we want to be our new leader, and what process we will use to get there, i.e., nomination, voting, consensus, volunteer, boxing match, etc.
We might want to begin with discussion around the who and how.  I'll go with the majority on the how. As for the who and why, I hope Marshall will consider throwing his hat in the ring. He has leadership experience, he knows the work and the resources, and he's in the same office as the PE&S center sponsor which can't help but be a perk.

January will be here before we know it and that means someone has to collect data during December for the Jan. 22nd. report. As the outgoing PE&S coordinator I'll be able to give that person the relevant information for 2006 as it pertains to East Texas AHEC efforts.
