My report about Listening for the Future, the first American Society for Acoustic Ecology (ASAE) symposium and retreat, has been published on the September/October World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE) Online Newsletter.

In related news, within the next month I plan to have the proceedings (images, texts, and audio) from Listening for the Future published on the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology website.

When you read the WFAE Newsletter you may notice that I was recently appointed as the new president of the ASAE. This is a big honor for me, one that came unexpectedly. It is also challenge. With the support of Andrea Polli, Michelle Nagai, and Arlene Walters I have confidence in my ability to serve.

On my immediate list of things to do is have a new ASAE website built. Planning is underway. I also hope that next year we will have another, equally successful ASAE symposium. Larger questions effecting our mission need to be addressed. Please stay tuned for more developments.
