CSCA GIFT Interest Group Post Conference Information

Dear GIFT Interest Group,

Thank you all so much for making this conference so informative and memorable! I have a few post-conference announcements and action items before I leave my position as the Chair of the GIFTS Interest Group. 

GIFT Repository: You can access all the amazing GIFTS from 2022 and 2023 (2024 forthcoming) via this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NBdmnyoHjUiXPJzp9y1dAwDbTTVoQdRV?usp=sharing

Bylaws: I read over our bylaws and propose the following changes:

1. Revise pronouns used throughout the document to be more inclusive.
2. Allow graduate students to run for Secretary (Background information: I was a graduate student when I was elected). 
3. Clarify position term for Secretary.
4. Revise Article XI to reflect the GIFT Repository rather than a website. 
5. General clarifications and grammatical changes. 

To review the revised bylaws, please use this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16S8SlmUe42zpX1mkfEyi-oF9RpFbqw2s/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103817361200979139945&rtpof=true&sd=true

Thank you again for your time this year—I look forward to seeing you in Cincinnati!
