After four years of dedicated service, Dr. Diva Amon is stepping down from the DOSI Steering Committee. Throughout her tenure, Diva has played a key role in shaping DOSI’s vision and mission, contributing to many of our strategic goals.
Her leadership has been instrumental, not only on the Steering Committee but also as a Working Group lead—first with the Minerals Working Group and more recently as co-lead of the Task Force for Conservation of Deep-Sea Biodiversity. We are deeply grateful for her time, commitment, and expertise.
While we will miss her presence on the Steering Committee, we are pleased to continue working with Diva in her role as Task Force co-lead, where her contributions remain invaluable.
Thank you, Diva, for all you have done for DOSI!
