NMC to Rekindle Silent Aucon at St. Pete Beach Meeng<br />
NMC is planning to hold a silent aucon on Monday evening of the NMC annual meeng. The focus is to hold<br />
an informal meet and greet, and ask for bids for items donated by<br />
members. NMC’s silent aucon goal is 20 items. Money raised will be<br />
used to enhance professional development efforts.<br />
“We hope this silent aucon gives our members a chance to make new<br />
acquaintances, renew old ones and raise a lile cash for NMC<br />
professional development,” said Sandra Godden, NMC president. “We<br />
encourage you to donate an item in the range of $25 or more to the<br />
aucon.”<br />
If you don’t have an item to donate, NMC staff suggests a cash<br />
donaon and an item will be purchased for the aucon and put up for<br />
bid.<br />
Suggesons for items that historically receive the highest bids at<br />
aucons of this type include techie gadgets, apparel and gi<br />
baskets. We encourage university researchers to donate apparel<br />
and/or create university baskets of collegiate goodies. Company<br />
apparel and other items from corporate closets are also highly suggested. Homemade items will also be a big<br />
hit for our members.<br />
Thanks in advance for your consideraon. Many more details will be available later this fall. In the meanme,<br />
put away your donated item today.<br />
European Mass Research Workers Gather November 3-4<br />
Following a successful inaugural European Mass Research Workers (EMRW) meeng in 2015, the group is<br />
reconvening Nov. 3‐4 in conjuncon with the Brish Mass Conference (BMC), Worcestershire, United<br />
Kingdom. The EMRW meeng will feature short presentaons (12 to 15 minutes each) from every aendee,<br />
with open discussion covering a variety of mass research areas. This format smulates discussion and promotes<br />
the exchange of ideas.<br />
The EMRW meeng fosters a collaborave environment and is less formal than most BMC and Naonal Mas‐<br />
s Council meengs, and is designed for those acvely involved in mass research, rather than industry<br />
representaves. Individuals with a pure commercial interest are excluded from this meeng. However, it is<br />
not intended to exclude clinicians and consultants who are acvely involved with mass research of<br />
publishable quality.<br />
EMRW organizers encourage younger researchers to aend the meeng, so they can capitalize on networking<br />
opportunies and present their work.<br />
