A Message from President Aswani K. Volety

Dr. Aswani K. Volety,
President of the World Oyster Society

I am honored and excited to serve as President of the World Oyster Society. I value the friendship, collaboration and support I have received from WOS members over the years. This organization connects us, in meaningful ways, to each other and to the natural world around us. 

WOS excelled under the leadership of founder and longtime president Katsuyoshi Mori, Ph.D., professor emeritus of Tohoku University, Japan. I welcome his continued guidance and support as we move our mission, vision, and objectives forward together. I am eager to increase membership, enhance our connection with the National Shellfisheries Association, develop additional targeted workshops and conferences to serve specific regional needs, and meet even more of you at the next International Oyster Symposium.
