On May 5, 2011 Robert handed the Canadian Society of Animal Science President's gavel to me. Thank-you, it is an honour! Today, in our business, it is easy for one to feel chased by the people you serve, but a good chase provokes action and it is an exciting time to be a member of our society! Our annual meeting in Halifax NS was a success: the number of attendees was over 1/3rd of the number of members, 52% of attendees were students and post-docs, the finances in the black.
