It has been an honor to serve on the IACR board for the last six years. My priorities for the IACR are (1) effective and timely dissemination of high quality research; (2) continuing to listen and respond to the IACR members' needs; (3) remaining an engaged and nurturing community even as we keep growing; (4) maintaining ties with related research communities, industry, standards and funding agencies. If you elect me to continue in my role as Director, I will continue to focus on these priorities, and to approach any issues that arise with an open mind.
