That would be David Cox, who will host NEMATYC again in 2009. He was cochair in 2007!

Jack Keating another winner.

Eiki Satake was a winner, and was elected an at-large member of the Executive Committee

Meredith Watts won, and was also elected an at-large member of the XC.

Co-Chair Lauren Brewer a winner too.
