Help us build the future: GSA’s 2019 Appeal Campaign
Earlier this year, we initiated our first-ever appeal campaign, with a goal to raise $250,00 from members. The funds raised by this effort will provide resources needed to sustain and grow GSA’s programs and initiatives, such as travel awards, early career programs, publishing innovations, and making conferences more inclusive. The appeal offers a mechanism for our professional community to give back—both to the field and to an organization that has positively impacted the lives and careers of thousands of scientists.
It’s been incredible to see such a strong response from leaders in the genetics community — rallying together to ensure GSA will have the resources needed to sustain and build upon its legacy. We are humbled by their generosity and know it will inspire the community to participate in this important effort.
Meet our Annual Appeal Committee
GSA is grateful to those who have not only helped by making a financial commitment to this effort but are also leading the initiative by serving on the Annual Appeal Committee.
