Call for volunteers: ArcticNet Student Day 2015 Organizing Committee

Dear APECS Canada members,

This is a call for volunteers to be part of the ArcticNet Student Day 2015 Organizing Committee. The next ArcticNet meeting will be held in Vancouver this December. From my involvement last year, I found volunteering a very enjoyable experience and helped me to make a lot of new connections in the polar research community. 

Roles on the organizing committee include, but are not limited to:

- workshop development
- plenary talk development
- elevator pitches organization
- social events planning
- event set-up
- social media support and photography

Some roles will require more of a time commitment than others and I will try my best to find a good fit for you if you are part of the team. You will never have to work on any responsibilities by yourself as we will break off into smaller groups to accomplish different tasks.

We are planning to have our first meeting next week via GoTo Meeting. Please let me know ASAP if you are interested in helping out and I will send you a link to the meeting Doodle poll along with additional information. The poll closes on Sunday at noon. We are depending on our community of early career researchers to make this student-led initiative a success once again!

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Sincerely,

Dan Lamhonwah
Student Day Coordinator
ArcticNet Student Association Executive Committee
