President’s Message,
Greetings. I hope you are all finding time to enjoy the beautiful Fall season that is upon us. I would also like to extend my personal invitation for each of you to attend the Annual Fall Meeting of the MRC-SOT, which will be held on Friday, November 20, 2009 at Covance Laboratories in scenic Madison, Wisconsin. Program Chairman, Matthew Schroeder, has organized a very interesting scientific session that focuses on the theme “New Frontiers in Cardiovascular Toxicology”. The program includes an outstanding panel of speakers who are recognized leaders in the field of cardiovascular toxicology. I sincerely hope that you will all be able to attend. The detailed program, registration materials, directions and lodging information for the meeting can be found elsewhere in this Newsletter. For planning purposes and security reasons, we are asking that registration materials be submitted before October 31.
Our 2009 Spring Meeting, that was held at the Marriott Lincolnshire Resort on May 1, was a huge success. About 100 people attended the meeting, which focused on the topic “Biomarkers of Toxic Injury and Therapeutic Responses”. I wish to extend my sincere thanks to all of the sponsors and individuals whose efforts contributed to the success of the meeting. Again, our organization owes a huge thanks to Robin Guy who, as in the past years, handled the negotiations for the meeting arrangements with the Marriott Lincolnshire. Robin devotes a considerable amount of her time each year to working with the Marriott Lincolnshire to insure that the spring meeting is a success. Robin, your efforts are greatly appreciated.
The Program Committee will soon begin planning the 2010 Spring Meeting that will be held in Lincolnshire on May 21. We encourage members to submit ideas for possible topics and speakers for the meeting. Also, members are encouraged to submit ideas for topics and possible venues for next year’s Fall Meeting. Hosting the fall meeting is a great opportunity to showcase your facilities and organization. Please feel free to contact anyone on the council with your questions or ideas.
Please encourage your colleagues to become members of chapter; one does not have to be a member of National SOT to become a member of our regional chapter. Membership and application materials are posted on our website.
Finally, our Nominating Committee, which will be headed by Past-President Peter Thomford, will be soliciting candidates to serve on the Executive Committee. Please consider running for office or serving on a committee. Our by-laws are posted on the web site and this is a great way to learn more about the duties of the officers and councilors. Since so much of the work of the Council and committees is conducted electronically, it has become much easier to participate.
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on November 20th, in Madison.
Walt Prozialeck

Regional Chapter Graduate Committee (RG-GC)
Greetings Midwest Regional Chapter! My name is Ofek Bar-Ilan and I am the Regional Chapter/Special Interest Group Graduate Committee (RC/SIG-GC) representative for the Midwest Regional Chapter (MRC)-SOT. As an ad hoc committee of the national Society of Toxicology, the RC/SIG-GC was created to serve as a student liaison between the regional and national SOT chapters in order to encourage student involvement in SOT. If you are a student and have an active interest in toxicology, we encourage you to attend the next MRC-SOT meeting on Nov. 20, 2009 at Covance Laboratories, Madison Wisconsin. Even though you do not need to be a member of the Midwest Regional Chapter to attend the meeting there are several benefits to becoming a student member. Student members have access to several services provided by the MRC-SOT, are eligible for student travel awards such as the Victor A. Drill Award for best poster presentation and the Young Investigator Award for the most innovative research. You also benefit from networking with other scientists and potential employers at the regional meetings. Besides, membership dues are only $10! To become a member, you can either download an application form from our website (which does not require national membership) or designate your choice to join while paying national SOT dues. Please feel free to email me with any questions you have about regional and national SOT student awards and meetings or volunteer opportunities at the annual SOT meeting.
Hope to see you Nov. 20th!
