The Board is seeking nominations for two At-Large APOMA Board positions this Fall. At-large directors are those who represent Corporate members. The Board is interested in broadening its industry representation. We would like to see numerous applicants from across the USA. It is our intent to offer a diverse and numerous panel of candidates to our membership for election.

We ask that you consider throwing your hat into the nomination ring by submitting yourself or convincing a colleague to apply. The nomination process is currently open and will close on 11/29/24. Nominations can be sent to Zach Hobbs, APOMA Secretary, at email: Zach@sydor.com Nominations should include a short bio and letters/emails of support from three additional APOMA members.

Voting will take place in December, and new At-Large members will take their positions at the APOMA Annual Meeting at Photonics West 2025.

We’ll soon be saying goodbye to the summer and welcoming the fall. In your plans, I hope you are considering attending the APOMA Tech Workshop on October 8th thru 11th in New Orleans, LA. If so, please be aware that the registration deadline is only 3 weeks away!

We’ve got an exceptional group of speakers covering relevant topics. The Roosevelt Hotel is a beautiful facility in a storied city, and the tour of LIGO and learning the science behind it will provide an unforgettable grand finale to the week.
