Dear ONErs,
After multiple outstanding terms as Treasurer, Ajith Venugopal will be stepping down from this role. We are deeply grateful to Ajith for his many years of dedicated service, during which he anchored the division with his steady steady and reliable presence as a rotating cast of elected officers moved through the system. Ajith has been crucial in keeping our division running smoothly, and we owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude. Thank you, Ajith, for everything you have done for ONE and our members.
At the same time, I am excited to share that Michael Hudecheck will be joining the ONE leadership team as Division Treasurer. As some of you will know, Mike is an International Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of St. Gallen, where he explores how organizations can address society's grand challenges using advanced computational methods, including large language models and satellite-based remote sensing. His work has been published in MIT Sloan Management Review and Nature Communications Earth & Environment, reflecting his commitment to impactful, interdisciplinary research.
Over the coming months, Mike will complete AOM training in preparation for the role, and Ajith will begin the handover process to ensure a smooth transition.
Please join me in welcoming Mike to the team and in thanking Ajith for his years of exceptional service. We are grateful to all of you for your continued commitment to ONE.
Warm regards,
Nardia
