"I am looking forward to building on the new initiatives under way as we work to ensure SREE is a vibrant and useful organization for its members and for the education research community more generally," Elizabeth Stuart noted. "As someone who straddles public health and education, this feels particularly important as we (hopefully) start to look to see the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic and the vast implications for education and education research. With increasing inequalities and a new education landscape, the work we do is even more important." SREE thanks out-going President Ruth Neild, Mathematica, for her service. Neild will remain a member of the SREE Board. Henry May and Atnre Alleyne to Chair the SREE 2021 Conference Chairs Henry May and Atnre Alleyne will serve as the 2021 Conference Program Chairs. May is an Associate Professor of Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics at the University of Delaware School of Education and Director of the Center for Research in Education and Social Policy. Alleyne is the founding Executive Director of DelawareCAN, a nonprofit organization that advocates for high-quality education in Delaware, and was a Harvard Strategic Data Fellow. “I am delighted that Henry and Atnre have agreed to chair the 2021 SREE conference," said SREE Board member and conferences committee chair, James Kemple. "They represent the best of the organization’s dual commitment to high quality research on educational effectiveness and to ensuring that our work is relevant to policy and practice. Individually and together they bring deep expertise in research methods and in using evidence to inform high stakes decisions at multiple levels.” More information on the conference, to be held September 26-29, 2020 in Arlington, Virginia (with an option to participate virtually) is forthcoming. SREE will be accepting abstracts for the meeting February 1 - April 1, 2021. Mark Your Calendars: SREE to Host Virtual Convening, Examining Research through the 2020 Lens

This editor will have two primary roles: overseeing and promoting open science initiatives and supporting the co-editors on methodological review of empirical papers. The rough form of these duties, and the needs they are serving, are described below with the recognition that part of the role of this new position is to refine and identify how, precisely, we can collectively carry this important work forward. The position is a commitment through December 31, 2022.
