Martha’s Table
This year, the Academy mourns the loss of two members who served as founding chairs of their Local Program Committees. Dr. Gordon Gill (University of California, San Diego) and Professor Frances McCall Rosenbluth (Yale University) are remembered for their thoughtful and energetic leadership of two of the Academy’s most active member communities. Gordon and Frances were pioneers in San Diego and New Haven, respectively, building out traditions of member engagement that continue today. Their tenures serve as a model for other committees around the nation, inspiring a culture that balances opportunities to connect members with one another with public events designed to serve the larger community. They are deeply missed.
