Through careful planning, ERF 2003 Program Co-Chairs and their committee members have made the conference logistics appear effortless. I want to acknowledge the in long hours already logged by co-chairs Si Simenstad and Steve Bollens, poster chair Jim Brennan and workshop chair Alan Mearns. The other Program Committee members deserve praise for their attention to detail and their ability to encourage their colleagues to participate!
