Aaron Price, our current Assistant Director, will be leaving the AAVSO at the end of June to become Manager of Research and Evaluation at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.

We've promoted Rebecca Turner to assume the management duties that Aaron has been performing for the past 2 years.  Rebecca has been with the AAVSO for 17 years, first as a technical assistant, but soon becoming the premier meetings coordinator for the AAVSO.  For the past few years, she has been assuming more of a management role for our various grants, and this promotion is the logical next step in her career.

If you have any question about the AAVSO website, our computer infrastructure, meetings coordination, membership services, grant administration, fundraising or outreach activities, Rebecca will be your first point of contact.

Please join me in applauding the service that Rebecca has already performed for the AAVSO, and in wishing her many years to come!
