Election of New Officers in 2007

2007 is an election year for Division Officers. The Vice Chair (Catherine Snelson) will begin a two year term as Division Chair at the 2007 Annual Meeting, and Tien Grauch will be come Past Chair. Nominations are open for the position of Vice-Chair (who will become Chair at the end of his/her 2 year term as Vice-Chair) and for Secretary-Treasurer. Dennis Harry is willing to serve another 2-year term as secretary-treasurer, but would be happy to step aside if someone else is interested in the job! Officers are expected to attend and conduct Division business at the annual meeting. The chair and vice-chair are involved in organizing the Technical Program for the Annual Meeting (this mostly occurs during July). The chair attends a Division chair meeting in February/March at GSA Headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. The most important attributes for officers are responsiveness, good organizational skills, and integrity!

Nominations or self-nominations for both the Vice-Chair and Secretary-Treasurer are due February 15! They can be sent by email tien@usgs.gov or mail to Tien Grauch, Dr. V. J. S. (Tien) Grauch, U. S. Geological Survey, Box 25046, Federal Center, MS 964, Denver, CO 80225-0046 USA. She will then pass them on to the nominations committee. Please include an explanation of why you think the nominee would be good for the position and confirm that he/she is willing and able to serve. The nominations committee selects one candidate per office from the pool of nominees. The committee’s slate can be added to via a write-in campaign, which requires write-in nominations from at least 8 people. Elections will be held in the summer of 2007.

Meetings
