New Steering Committee Members Several of the current steering committee members will be stepping down over the course of the next several months as the course of their tenure comes to an end. Those members are Mimi Malayan, Hana Mori,Sarka Volejnikova, and Orit Yanai. We will miss their invaluable support, wisdom and contributions.
