> Dear Colleagues,
> Though we have reached the requisite 75 signatures on our petition to start a new expert witness section, 20+ of those signatures were from folks without current LASA membership, or with memberships about to expire as of August 2019. We need 75 signatures from current members to found the section.
> 
> If you are a CURRENT LASA member and haven't signed, but would consider joining a new section on expert witnessing, please consider signing.
> 
> If you signed already, and have renewed your membership since August/Sept so that you are now a current member again, please email me so I can update that information on our petition.
