Professional Development Committee Update
Julius Suchy | Chair, Professional Development Committee

Due to COVID-19, the Professional Development Committee presented a virtual Summer Workshop that was free to MME members. Sessions are available on the MME website. The prospect of holding in-person events seems unlikely for the foreseeable future, so the committee is looking for member input on how to present the 2021 Winter Institute. Read more.  

Updates from the NextGen Committee 
Justin Breyer | Chair, NextGen Committee

The NextGen Committee has also been hampered by COVID-19 in hosting in-person events. We're looking into holding a virtual social meet up in the near future. Also, we are pleased that we've been able to place fellows in the cities of Wayland and Plymouth. Read more.
