Meet the ASPB President-Elect Candidates for 2020

Belonging to ASPB brings more than discounts for attending Plant Biology meetings or publishing in the Society’s journals. Our members form a community of dedicated individuals who, like you, work together to support and nurture an engaged, vibrant, and thriving community of plant scientists. By getting involved in ASPB and by voting in our elections, you will be helping to shape the future of the Society and the plant science community as a whole.

On Friday, June 19, 2020 we held a live, online “meet the candidates” event to get to know the candidates for ASPB president-elect, Katie Dehesh and Georg Jander. Before you vote, take some time to learn about the candidates for President-elect by participating in this live, online event, where you will be able to ask questions and learn more about the candidates’ plans for leading ASPB into the future.
