JUDGES NEEDED!
The recognition of outstanding technical presentations is fundamental to the advancement of geological ideas and concepts. GCAGS and GCSEPM need your help in judging oral and poster sessions. All judges will be invited to a complimentary breakfast and asked to provide input to determine award winners. All that is required is observation of oral and poster sessions with grading based on standardized scorecards.
The awards committee will compile the scores, with winners honored at next year’s convention. The student poster award winners will be announced Monday evening of the convention.
Please volunteer by checking the appropriate box on your registration form or on the GCAGS website, or contact Sandy Rushworth or David Risch by sending an email to socialmedia@gcags.org.
You will be contacted to determine your preference for session(s) you are interested in judging. Your participation will be both rewarding and appreciated.
