Historically only 15% to 20% of eligible members vote, which I believe is unfortunate; we can change that.  Having been a past chair of the MCOH section and a current member of the section executive committee, I am inclined seek the support of other MCOH members.  I have not requested a formal endorsement from current MCOH leadership.

I looked back on my ACOEM experience to date and spoke with recent ACOEM presidents.   I realized I missed the interaction, so I am asking for your support.
