AAAS Resolution:
Appreciation for Michelle Balcomb

Whereas Dr. M. Michelle Balcomb, a member of long-standing of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, has served the Association for more than fourteen years as Executive Secretary of the Southwestern and Rocky Mountain Division of AAAS, and

Whereas her term was marked by several innovations, such as the "Community College Initiative" and the "Regional Fellows Forum," and

Whereas she brought scientific members of the Native American communities into closer contact with their peers throughout the SWARM Division, and

Whereas she encouraged a closer association of state academies of science with SWARM and active participation of teachers and students in association activities,

Therefore be it resolved that the Council of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at its annual meeting held in Boston, Massachusetts on the 15^th day of February 1993, hereby expresses its profound appreciation to Dr. Balcomb for her outstanding service and contributions to the SWARM Division and the mission and goals of the AAAS.

[Approved by the AAAS Council, February 15, 1993.]
