Dear Past President,

Thank you so much for all you have given to the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms throughout the years of your career. Even through our service, we can acknowledge that SRBR has given back to all of us in return. It has been a great contributor of our professional careers, provided a critical network of colleagues and collaborators, and continues its dedication to advancing rigorous, peer-reviewed science and evidence-based policies related to sleep and circadian biology.  SRBR is a critical organization to our field, to us, and to all those who come after us.

 This year, SRBR is launching a very special fundraising effort, the creation of the Past President's Fund. This fund will provide a special opportunity for all SRBR Past Presidents to continue their service to, and their leadership within SRBR through an annual gift. Your generosity will help us as we aim to: 

• Support, educate, engage, and welcome scientists of all nationalities.
• Advocate for research on sleep and other biological rhythms by informing government leaders and the public about the need for robust funding and other support and its positive impact on human health and economy. 

To establish early success of this new venture, SRBR has set a goal of $5,000.  We hope that as senior leaders that you will show the way in providing support to SRBR. Your donation to this Fund can help demonstrate how important it is for all members to help SRBR continue to do its important work and provide the organizational network so critical to our field. We thank you in advance for your kind consideration and your continued leadership within SRBR.

Sincerely,

Erik Herzog

SRBR Past President
