1. Call for Applications for Multiple GEM Steering Committee Positions
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Jacob Bortnik  (jbortnik AT atmos.ucla.edu) and Paul Cassak

The success of the GEM program relies upon the dedicated service made by members of the steering committee (SC).  This year we have an opening for the GEM vice-chair (chair-elect) position and two openings on the GEM steering committee for regular “at-large” members.  We invite interested members of the community to apply for these positions or to nominate community members that would make excellent candidates.

For a list of the current steering committee members and related information, please see the following link on GEM website:

The duties and responsibilities of the various SC positions are summarized in the GEM “best practices” document, which can be found here:

http://www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu/gem/pdf/GEM_BestPractices_22Sep2017.pdf

The selection of these new positions will occur at the steering committee meeting which typically takes place the Sunday evening before the GEM Workshop.  In preparation for this meeting, the steering committee solicits applications, which should consist of a succinct one-page CV and a separate brief statement of interest (no more than half a page) describing the applicant’s interest in the position, any relevant experience, and the applicant’s approach to serving the GEM community and maintaining an interactive and workshop-style meeting.

Applications and nominations will be accepted until Friday May 31st.  To submit an application, please send the requested documents to the current steering committee chair and chair-elect, Jacob Bortnik (jbortnik AT atmos.ucla.edu) and Paul Cassak (Paul.Cassak AT mail.wvu.edu). Send the name and contact information of nominations to the same addresses. Thank you for your support of GEM!
