GEM Position Openings
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: D. G. Sibeck (david.g.sibeck at nasa.gov)

Candidates are sought for two positions on the GEM Steering Committee: 
(1) Chair-Elect and (2) Regular (Voting) Member. The first opening 
will occur as Mike Liemohn steps down after a successful two-year 
period as Chair and I assume his position. The second opening will 
occur as Nick Omidi steps down as a member of the Steering Committee.

An election at the Steering Committee meeting on the penultimate or 
final day of the forthcoming GEM/CEDAR meeting in Santa Fe this June 
will fill these positions.  Candidates may be asked for brief 
statements of interest at this meeting.  The Chair-Elect will work 
closely with me and the members of the Steering Committee to define 
GEM science activities over the next two years, and then take the 
position of Chair when I step down in 2013.  The new member of the 
Steering Committee will serve for three years, participating fully in 
GEM activities and helping chart its future.

Potential candidates are invited to contact me or any other member of 
the steering committee for further information and to declare their 
interest in one or both of these positions.

for a list of current Steering Committee members and liaisons.

David Sibeck
Chair-Elect, GEM Steering Committee
