Call for AGU Volunteers 2010

American Geophysical Union's continuing success depends on dedicated members who volunteer to serve the Union.

Dedicated volunteers represent an essential ingredient of every Union program. Union staff works flexibly and responsively in partnership with volunteers to achieve Union goals and objectives. AGU members are invited to volunteer for any committee based on their skill set and knowledge.

The success of AGU depends critically on the work of over 30 committees responsible for overseeing meetings, publications, finances, elections, awards, outreach and other activities. Committees are the lifeblood of AGU and committee members serve in a variety of indispensable roles. They are advisors to the president, the new Board of Directors and the Council; they provide continuing guidance for all AGU programs, review ongoing and proposed programs, and suggest new ones. As an organization, the Union can not operate effectively without a strong core of committee volunteers who give so generously of their time, talent, and energy.

AGU members are invited to volunteer for any committee based on their skill set and knowledge. The Union president-elect will appoint committee members and chairs. Read more in President-elect Michael McPhaden's 2010–12 call for volunteers in Eos, Volunteers: A Critical Element in the New AGU.

Please fill out the Committee Volunteer Form to indicate where you would like to volunteer!
