PGI Committees

This page contains information about the committee structure of the Board of Directors for PGI.   Email links are provided for all committee chairs.  We encourage members to contact committee chairs with comments or concerns. 

 

General aspects of PGI committee system

1. Most PGI work should be done in committee meetings, well before regular PGI Board of Directors meetings.
2. Board meetings should primarily consist of recommendations submitted by the committees.
3. Committee Chairs are expected to submit written report to PGI president at least 2 weeks prior to regular Board meetings.
4. Every committee should have a clearly-defined, and written, purpose and function.
5. Committee purpose, function, and membership list should be maintained on PGI web-site.

The current committee system consists of the following committees: Awards, Professional Liaison, Academic Liaison and Scholarships, Constitution Review, Membership, PGI Directory, Professional Affairs & Legislative Oversight, Website, Publications, Field Trips, Events, Earth Science Education.
