The Biometrics Section held its annual business committee meeting at this year's Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM), during which they shared election appointments, summarized past conferences, and announced the winners of several section awards. The section appointed Tim Johnson as the 2012 JSM program chair, and the 2012 ENAR program chair is Daniel Scharfstein. Also, Jianwen Cai won the election for the new chair elect-elect, and Scarlett Bellamy won the election for the Council of Sections representative for 2012-2014. Another highlight of the business meeting was a review of the ENAR meeting that took place March 20-30, also in Miami, Florida. The section sponsored 10 poster sessions and 23 contributed paper sessions. These sessions were scored highly by the section program chair and ranked highly among all reviewers.
