A big welcome to Marisa Gomez Nordyke and Melanie (Fuechsel) Millman, who over the summer will be taking over the editorial duties of the newsletter.

Marisa first got involved with VAF during the Savannah conference in 2007 when she and Daves Rosell were co-editors of the field guide.  Now living in Texas, Marisa is currently a PhD candidate in Art History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Arlington. As the new VAN Editor she will be coordinating the team and bringing you the new and improved monthly newsletter.

Melanie joined the VAF in 2016 as a student ambassador with University of Mary Washington.  She works out of New Jersey as a CRM archaeologist (AECOM) specializing in GIS and graphic design. As news editor she’ll be bringing the VAN to social media.
