Transitions in the Research Council

The national convention marks the transition of roles on the Research Council. This year, Tan Leng Goh will serve as the chair and Paul Wright transitions to the role of past chair. We also welcome two new members to the Research Council, Tan Zhang and Weidong Li. Finally, doctoral student Nicolette Suchon becomes the voting graduate student member. Nancy Getchell and Kevin Richards both continue their service as Research Council members, and Joe Deutsch returns as our SHAPE America Board of Directors liaison.

We want to extend our gratitude to Paul Rukavina, Tao Zhang, and graduate student member Ana West for their impressive and impactful service.
