2025 Annual Chapter Meeting Survey

If you attended our Annual Chapter Meeting on April 4th, we'd love to hear your feedback.  We have a short feedback survey that will take less than 5 minutes to fill out.

2025 Annual Chapter Meeting

Our chapter meeting took place Friday, April 4, 2025 at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. The meeting agenda can be found at this link: 2025_Chapter_Meeting_Tentative_Agenda.  We have a new President and Vice President, while our Secretary, Treasurer, and Chapter Representative will be staying for another year to provide some much-needed continuity and institutional knowledge to the Chapter.  If you are interested in serving as a Chapter officer starting next year, please reach out to one of the Chapter officers.

The Chapter officers thank the outgoing President, Devin Francom, for his long and productive service to the Chapter.  We also express our gratitude to Alex Foss and Kurtis Shuler from Sandia National Labs, who ran the Statistics and Machine Learning short course, and UNM neuroscientist Sam McKenzie for providing the context and dataset for predicting epileptic seizures with EEG data for the Hackathon.

Recent Events

Please contact us if you have any ideas for social events that you might want to see the chapter do in the future!
