Dear Tweeters,

We are pleased to announce that Elaine Chuang has joined the Tweeters management team. She has been working with us in the background for several weeks and will now bring her skills, insights, and fresh energy to the full range of chores, occasional unexpected challenges, and many satisfactions of administering this venerable forum for exchange of information and commentary on birds and birding. Dan has been in the wheelhouse for more than 25 years, and Hal for nearly 20. Not that we plan to step away, but let us say that with Elaine sharing the duties, we are looking forward to slackening the pace of our personal involvement a little bit.

Many of you already know Elaine through her past and present activities with the Washington Ornithological Society, among others. Please join us in welcoming her, and thanking her, if you get a chance.

Dan Victor and Hal Opperman
