Anne Wolven-Garrett Donates 25th Anniversary Proclamation for Display at SOT Headquarters
 |
March 6, 1986
SOT Day in New Orleans |
Anne Wolven-Garrett, the Chair of the 25th SOT Anniversary Committee, has given to SOT Headquarters the Proclamation commemorating Society of Toxicology Day, which was presented to her by then New Orleans Mayor Ernest N. Morial. That proclamation states that “the Mayor of New Orleans has proclaimed this day, March 6, 1986, the Society of Toxicology Day in New Orleans.”
In preparation for the 25th Anniversary Celebration, Ms. Wolven-Garrett asked the office of the mayor for a welcome proclamation. Both she and then SOT President Emil Pfitzer received beautifully framed documents. “It was a wonderful celebration,” said Ms. Wolven-Garrett. “As we move toward the 50th Anniversary of the Society in 2011, I think the SOT should concentrate on communicating the importance of Toxicology to students who have an interest in science and health, to legislators and regulators whose decisions on human and environmental health should be based on science, and to the public who benefit from this discipline.”
Ms. Wolven-Garrett has been a member of the Society since 1970 and has been involved in a wide range of activities, demonstrating her commitment and leadership. In additional to her affiliations with the Southeastern Regional Chapter, she has been a member of several specialty sections and committees (Membership, Regulatory Affairs, and Finance), and served as the Society’s Historian and a member of the 40th Anniversary Task Force.
“There are many leadership opportunities in the Society,” she added. “Members should welcome the chance to forward the goals of our great organization.” Moreover, she is enthusiastic about the new mission statement of the SOT: “Creating a Safer and Healthier World by Advancing the Science of Toxicology.” According to her, that is what toxicologists are trained to do.
