My name is Karine Leblanc and after going through almost all the chairs and officer's position the past 10 years with the Southern California chapter, I am glad to try a new position this year which is the Research Promotion chair, most often called, the RP chair. I am following the footsteps of Michael Hass who did a fantastic job last year; it will be a tough act to follow!
I just came back from the RP training that was held in the windy city of Chicago. We were a total of 29 new and not so new RP chairs among 4 Regions. Our Region X was well represented with the RP chair of San Diego, Golden Gate, San Jose, Northern Nevada and Hawaii chapters (see picture). I learned a lot, the training was awesome! Now I am ready to raise some Research Moneyyyy!!! 
Our goal this year is to raise $20,000.00, which is not too bad considering how successful SoCal is!! Seriously, the Region X (CA, AZ, NV, HI) has been receiving approx. $1.4M from the Society Research fund for their projects and grants. Unfortunately, the Region X has only raiser approx. $144,000.00 last year. Our ratio is not very good and this is why we will try very hard this year to make a difference. So don't be surprise to see and hear more about Research Promotion!
