WWW.WAS.ORG • WORLD AQUACULTURE • SEPTEMBER 2017 3 Soon, you will receive a call for nominations for WAS officers and the director positions. Please contribute to WAS with your nominations and then with your votes. I also encourage you to get involved at the chapter level and to consider running for office or volunteering to help with conferences. Together, we can grow WAS and enhance its services! I also encourage you to recruit two new members to WAS. If you have any ideas or comments on how to make WAS better, please send them directly to me at daniewh@ auburn.edu or share with another WAS or Chapter Board member. I hope to meet you at an upcoming WAS conference soon, if not in Mexico, then in Las Vegas at the Aquaculture America conference, February 19-22, 2018. And don’t forget to plan ahead to attend our joint WAS-EAS conference to be held in Montpellier, France, August 25-29, 2018. In New Orleans during Aquaculture 2019, WAS will begin its 50th Anniversary – so young but still growing! — Bill Daniels, President There were always conversations happening at the entrance to the trade show. Views of iconic Table Mountain were outstanding every day. The shops, restaurants and bars of the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront were popular among conference attendees in Cape Town. Interest was strong and the excitement was palpable prior to the start of the meeting to launch the process that will lead to establishment of an African chapter of WAS.
