Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

The group welcomed the new administrative advisor (Dr. Tala Awada). Dr. Awada gave a brief remark and the NIFA representative Dr. Eric Norland provided an update from NIFA. The group discussed extensively on planning of a workshop in conjunction with 2023 annual meeting at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). For the meeting to take place on site at BNL, at least 9 months ahead of the meeting time will be needed to complete the application and approval by BNL. One alternative is to hold the meeting at a hotel off site near BNL and a facility tour could be scheduled at BNL. The meeting will feature a few invited speakers and short talks from our group members. The meeting will be open to students and early career researchers. An organizing committee is formed and is composed of Ganga Hettiarachchi (joined after the annual meeting), Angela Possinger, Donald Sparks, Daniel Strawn, Joseph Stucki, and Wei Zhang. The organizing committee will meet and plan for the meeting and provide timely update to the group.

All participants provided brief summary and update of research activities during last year. Additionally, our group members were active in organizing sessions in the ASA-CSSA-SSSA International Annual Meeting. The group decided to postpone the application of multi-state project research award to next year.
