Call for nominations for
EGLR SAC (Student Advisory Council) Chairperson

The ASPRS SAC (Student Advisory Council) serves all ASPRS Student members at the national level. Based on this national council, the Eastern Great Lakes Region (EGLR) has decided to form a Region version of the SAC. From here forward the Regional SAC will be referred to as the EGLR SAC. The EGLR SAC will be an outreach to ALL Students not represented by Region Chapters at colleges and universities and also to assist Students that represent the EGLR’s two current Student Chapters (California University of Pennsylvania and The Ohio State University).

The person elected to this position as Chair will serve as a voting member on the EGLR SAC and a non-voting member to the EGLR Board of Directors from January 2014 to January 2015. The elected Chair must be an ASPRS Student Member. Students who would like to be nominated and are not current ASPRS Student members can find information and forms about becoming a Student member of ASPRS by visiting this location (http://www.asprs.org/Join-Now.html).

Nominations are open from now till November 30, 2013. Voting will take place betweenDecember 2 and December 23, 2013. The person elected will be introduced at the EGLR 3-City Winter Dinner Meeting in early February 2014.

After taking office in January 2014, the new Chair will begin to work with several members of the EGLR Board of Directors and contacts with the ASPRS SAC to develop the new Council.

1. A representative of all the Students within the EGLR
2. A liaison between the EGLR Board and the EGLR Student Chapters
