Additional Comments: I will continue to do my best to help Sigma Xi become a thriving organization once again. The Committee on Nominations has an important function to look for the leaders who can provide Sigma Xi the visibility to the outside world and inspiration to the members on a continuing basis to ensure the organizationâs continued prosperity into the new millenium. I will devote my efforts towards finding quality leaders for the next three years.
