From downs at nceas.ucsb.edu Wed May 3 13:54:08 2017 From: downs at nceas.ucsb.edu (Marty Downs) Date: Wed, 3 May 2017 13:54:08 -0700 Subject: [LTER-chairs] Committee Chair Reports/Presentations Message-ID: Dear LTER Committee Chairs, Annual Committee Reports are something that fell through the cracks last year as the NCO got up to speed. The NCO and the Executive Board would like to request reports from committee chairs for the period from May 2015-May 2017. These need not be a major undertaking, but they are a huge help in keeping the Network abreast of the committee's activity. Please submit reports by *May 31* so that they can be included with a Network update from the Science Council meeting later this month. Please send as a pdf to downs at nceas.ucsb.edu with LTER committee report in the subject line. Reports should be brief documents that are easily scanned for key information and include the following sections: - Committee Name - Leadership structure and individuals (chair, co-chairs, executive board, etc) - Members - Mission - Meeting frequency - Meeting topics or outside speakers - Major activities and accomplishments for the period - Planned activities for the coming year In addition to reports, select committees (IM, Education, Grad, Diversity, Communications and ILTER) will offer brief presentations at this year's science council meetings. Those presentations should cover a similar set of topics, as well as reflect on whether a committee (ongoing, with regular meetings, bylaws, and voting) is the most effective structure to achieve your group's goals.
