Committee updates
Elections Committee
The Elections Committee is looking for members! The PSG Elections Committee solicits volunteers to run for positions on the PSG Executive Council (PSG EXCO). The committee strives to identify at least two candidates for each open EXCO seat. Nomination requests are sent out each summer, and the Elections Committee convenes each fall to review all nominees for the upcoming positions. If there are not enough nominees to put forward 2 candidates for each position, a concerted effort is made to conduct individual outreach based on prior nominations. Once appropriate candidates have been found, the committee sets up a secure online voting system for all current PSG members to vote anonymously.
If you’re interested in joining the Elections Committee, please email Jane Dolliver and Katie O’Reilly, Co-Coordinators, at PSG_elections@pacificseabirdgroup.org.
Communications Committee
The Communications Committee is looking for members and future co-chairs!
The Communications Committee is composed of PSG members that volunteer to keep communications and publications running for PSG. The Communications Committee manages the PSG website, PSG Email List, Pacific Seabirds, Symposia, Technical Publications, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This committee also maintains the news posts and job opportunities on the PSG website and social media accounts! It may sound like a lot, but this committee is one of the larger PSG committees and there is a place for everyone! Do you love Instagram? We could use your help! Are you a website guru? We’ve got a role for you! If you’re interested in joining the committee or if you’d like to learn more about the opportunities on the committee or what being a chair entails, please feel free to email the current co-chairs, Wieteke and Anna, at communications@pacificseabirdgroup.org.
