Join us for the 2009-10 kickoff meeting, where we will introduce and discuss the principles of our group, describe several upcoming events, and plan new events for the upcoming year. All students are encouraged to attend, regardless of year or background. Dinner will be provided.

Those who wish to become chapter members may do so at the meeting by filling out the membership form and paying the $5 annual dues. For an additional $10 (a total of $15), members can also order a U of M HFES Tshirt. Forms, dues, and tshirt fees may be turned in at a later date as well.

We will hold our officer elections at the first meeting, so if you'd like to nominate yourself or another person for an officer position, please email our president-elect, Dan (hfes.pres.elect@umich.edu). Nominations will be kept anonymous. See the positions and descriptions here. Officer positions are available to any chapter member, but the nominees must plan to be present at the meeting to introduce themselves.
