Abstract :
I have been involved in the IMS AdCom for some years now, starting as an appointed Graduate Student Representative, and transitioning to an elected member in 2012. Throughout my involvement, I have been a part of the Membership Development Committee, or MDCom, as we (the members of the team) affectionately call ourselves. As a result, I consider MDCom the committee that I grew up on within IMS, allowing me to experience the many facets of MDCom, and ultimately preparing me to serve as MDCom´s Chair in 2013 and 2014.
