History of Excellence Future of Promise
Opportunities for All Plant Pathologists in the
21st Century
On the occasion of our centennial, the Joint
Committee on Women in Plant Pathology and Cultural Diversity invite you to explore, in a special
Centennial Session at the 2008 Annual Meeting, the work
that has been done and the work that remains
to be done for Optimizing Opportunity for Everyone in Plant Pathology.
This session will specifically look at the historical status of women in plant pathology, the current status of
underrepresented groups, how we have worked to optimize opportunity for everyone in plant pathology,
and what we need to do for those who still face unfair barriers to their success. A lively and challenging
discussion will follow the presentations. We invite you to bring your thoughts to the forum and
participate in the discussion.
The American Phytopathological Society is looking forward to celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2008.
We are very excited about gathering the relevant, historical, and truly unique aspects of plant pathology together for the Centennial celebration. We hope to provide members not only a retrospective look back, but also a look at the way forward. Several groups are already working on
various activities to make this a truly special occasion.
