The Council meetings concluded with the kick- off of a strategic planning effort led by Elisa Pratt of Brewer Pratt Consulting. BPS’s current strategic plan was developed in 2017, so it is time to review and update our plan. We’ll be reaching out to you, our members, for input and feedback over the next several months to understand your experiences and chang- ing needs. We want to ensure that diversity, equity, and inclusion are prioritized throughout the plan and that we are creating a pathway

for a strong, member-focused BPS well into the future. We welcome your feedback at any time, and encourage you to reach out to us with ideas or questions at jpesanelli@biophysics.org or garobert@wisc.edu. — Gail Robertson , President — Jennifer Pesanelli , Executive Officer
