Dear CEDAR community,</div>

This year three of our regular CEDAR Science Steering Committee (CSSC) Members (CMs), the International Liaison (IL), and one Student Representative (SR) will be cycling off. The CSSC is responsible for periodic checks on the community science progress and
direction, in coordination with the CEDAR community. The CSSC organizes the scientific content of the annual CEDAR Workshop and connects with other programs. Recently, CSSC advocacy on behalf of the CEDAR community has been essential as the research landscape
has been changing quickly. Being part of the CSSC is a great opportunity to be involved with and influential to this vibrant science community. More information on the CSSC can be found here:</div>

Note: To balance international representation, it is desired that the IL should cycle between representatives from Africa, the Americas (non-USA), Asia, Europe, and Oceania. When choosing a new IL, preference will be given to nominations from geographic regions
who have not been represented by the prior two ILs. Past two ILs have been from South America (Peru) and Asia (Japan).</div>
