North American Plant Phenotyping Network (NAPPN) news
NAPPN Survey – A survey to understand the strengths, needs and opportunities of the U.S. plant phenotyping community will be sent in the upcoming weeks. It was modeled on the successes of the maize genetics community who has used this community oriented data-driven approach to inform funding agencies and decision makers. We will discuss the results of this survey at the NAPPN General Assembly and Community Session.

NAPPN Elections – NAPPN Executive Committee nominations for both the 2019 and 2020 boards will be due December 20th, 2018. The election will open January 7th, 2019 and close January 14th. Results will be announced January 30th and at the NAPPN Community Session Feb. 8th. In 2019, both Industry and Biology board positions will open. In 2020, both Industry and Data board positions will open. Self-nominations will be accepted. Look for further information in the upcoming months.

NAPPN Membership – Both the NAPPN Survey and the NAPPN Elections will require membership in NAPPN. NAPPN Membership is both easy and free! If you got this newsletter from NAPPN – congratulations, you are already a member!
