Welcome to the Northwest Region of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research SocietyThe Northwest Region of Sigma Xi encompasses chapters in the states of Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, as well as the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba.
From the Director: Dear NW Region members: Welcome to the Northwest region's new web portal. The computer age offered us new opportunities for communication. Several of our regional chapters developed web sites. However, we also recognized the value at nearly every annual meeting over the past several years of producing a web portal for our region to further enhance collegiality. Busy schedules, higher priority commitments, lack of web construction skills mixed with a bit of procrastination made the web portal goal elusive. Dr. Kelly O. Sullivan, Pacific Northwest National Laboraotry, and Dr. Asai Asaithambi, University of South Dakota, volunteered to take on the task of developing the site at the annual meeting this year in Orlando, FL. Kelly Sullivan enlisted the assistance of her mother, Naomi, who provided the web space and graphic design and Kelly was able to obtain a domain name for us. The long-sought web site finally became a reality. I hope you will visit this site regularly as it is a work still in progress . The success of this new site will depend on your use of it through your contributions and suggestions. It is an ideal media for blogs and announcements as well as our NW region newsletter. Help us maintain the momentum started at the annual meeting in Orlando.-- John Kelley, NW Regional Director
