Old Announcement:

Greetings soil ecologists,

Thank you to everyone who voted on our proposal to postpone the in-person 2021 meeting and extend the membership and leadership by one year. We received overwhelmingly positive support for our proposal, and are officially postponing the 2021 in-person meeting until May 2022. All current memberships have been extended at no cost and the current Executive Board members will retain their leadership roles through the extension period.

Instead of meeting in-person, we are looking forward to coming together as a community during our virtual gathering in May. Do you have ideas about what you’d like to see at our virtual half day event? Reply to this email and let us know!

Sincerely,

Soil Ecology Society Board Members
