1. Return of Fall AGU to San Francisco<br>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
From: <claruse at igpp.ucla.edu><br>
<br>
AGU Director Christine McMeeting has announced that the Fall AGU
will return <br>
to San Francisco earlier than expected. In fact, it will never
leave. When <br>
the elite members of the AGU learned of the earlier suggested move
to New <br>
Orleans in December 2017, and to Washington, D.C. in 2018, a number
of key <br>
eminences gris realized that most of their generation would end up
in San <br>
Francisco regardless of the various communications the AGU issued,
since none <br>
of them are read by the eminences gris as they do not use Twitter or
Facebook. <br>
This demographic is important to the AGU as they are the major
contributors <br>
to the GIFT (Get It From Them) campaign that funds those programs
that lie <br>
outside of AGU’s statute of incorporation. Instead, the
deliberations of each <br>
section of AGU will be held in a separate hotel. This will also
alleviate the <br>
inconvenience of walking on cold, rainy streets to the Moscone
Center. In the <br>
case of the SPA section, the sessions will be held in the Holiday
Inn on Van <br>
Ness Avenue. The last mini-GEM workshop was held there and many SPA
members <br>
were able to find the hotel successfully. The AGU and the senior SPA
members <br>
are very grateful that this compromise has been reached.<br>
