EMRA's committees and divisions welcomed new leaders during the SAEM conference in May, as vice-chairs stepped into the role of chairs while up-and-coming leaders began their yearlong vice-chair term. With projects still underway for most groups, the transition in leadership signals a new leg in a never-ending race. EMRA is pleased to welcome the 2016-17 Committee and Division leaders.
