Dear APECS Canada Board,

We were wondering if you could do us a small favour please. We decided to reach out to the board first just so we wouldn't be inundated by replies. 

Terin and I are organizing ArcticNet Student Day this year. We are having a bit of trouble filling up spots for the 3 minute elevator pitch session in the program. An invitation was sent out this week to all student poster presenters attending the to pitch their research. If you know anyone in your lab going to ArcticNet and will be presenting a poster, can you please encourage them to be part of the elevator pitches? It's an awesome opportunity to reach a very large and diverse audience to talk to them about their work. Thank you in advance!


Sincerely,

Dan and Terin
ArcticNet Student Association (ASA) Executive Committee

Videographer/photographer needed for Student Day ArcticNet ASM

Dear APECS Canada members,

We were hoping to find someone who will be attending Student Day (Monday December 7 and Tuesday December 8) during the ArcticNet ASM in Vancouver that could help us film a few of our talks/workshops and possibly take a few photos during those two days. We will likely be able to provide a camera, but if you have your own equipment, even better. We can offer a small reward for your time and assistance. Thank you kindly.

Sincerely,

Dan Lamhonwah
Student Day Coordinator

Announcing APECS Canada's 2015-2016 Board Leadership Team

Hello APECS Canada,

We are happy to announce that the ehPECS board has successfully elected the inaugural Leadership Team that will steer our national committee through the next year. After a few years of building our programming and membership, APECS Canada has finally grown big enough to have a leadership body that can maintain the momentum of past programs and strategically plan new programs. 

On behalf of the new chair of our board Vicki Sahanatien, I would invite you to see the attached poster to 'meet' this years leadership team. Thanks to everyone on the board for voting and we look forward to a productive year!  


Best,
Ann Balasubrananiam

Bonjour APECS Canada,

Nous sommes heureux d'annoncer au nom du conseil d'administration d'APECS Canada que nous avons élu l'équipe de direction pour la prochaine année.

Nous espérons développer stratégiquement de nouveaux programmes tout en maintenant ceux qui sont en cours. 

De la part de notre nouvelle présidente Vicki Sahanatien, j'aimerais vous inviter à lire l'attachement afin de vous présenter l'équipe de direction de cette année. Merci au conseil d'aministration pour leurs votes et nous attendons avec impatience nouvelle année bien remplie.

Cordialement,
