SICB Web Site Revisions

As reported in the last newsletter, we are in the process of overhauling the SICB web site. We have received feedback from the divisional secretaries and the primary officers of SICB and are now in the process of reorganizing the content of the web site to make it easier to read and easier to find material. I am hoping all of this work can be done sometime this spring.
