Proposed Changes to ESA's Governance
Periodically, ESA reviews its priorities for serving its members and the discipline of ecology. This led over the past year to a new strategic plan, but also the realization that our governance documents were outdated and in need of modernization to increase transparency, communication, and broad participation by members in the Society. Changes proposed by the Governing Board begin with this fall's election, during which ESA members will vote to dissolve the constitution.

A New Opportunity to Apply for Research Funding through ESA
ESA is launching a new program to provide members with additional opportunities to apply for research funding. We are a partner of the
Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CHWACESU), which regularly issues requests for proposals for funded research opportunities. We encourage ESA members whose institutions are not already part of the CESU network to apply to these opportunities.
