Subject: Fw: Trustees wanted! And GCG AGM and winter seminar 30th November - call for papers

Dear all,

A reminder of our current news:


We are very pleased to announce that the date is set for the Geological Curators Group AGM and winter seminar: 30th November 2021!

We are now accepting abstracts for short (10-15 mins) talks, under the banner of GCG World Tour. We have seen lots more engagement from our lovely international members over the last 18 months, as events have moved online, and many new members from across the world. We would like to celebrate our members outside the UK, with stories of innovations in, relationships with, and stories from geological collections around the world. These can be surrounding the topic of covid and how your organisation coped, or anything else you would like to share! See https://www.geocurator.org/events/145-48th-annual-general-meeting-and-seminar for more details. The AGM will be at 4pm GMT/UTC, with more details to follow.

We are also seeking new Trustees to help run GCG. There's lots to do but if you're passionate about geological collections and would like to help safeguard them for the future we have four roles available:
*     Collections Coordinator
*     Journal Editor
*     Communications Coordinator (new role)
*     Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator (new role)

Please have a look at the info here: https://www.geocurator.org/committee/management-documents/147-getting-involved-with-gcg/trustee-positions-available-for-2022-onwards for more details.

If you are interested in a role, please bear in mind that the deadline for application is 5th November 2021.

As ever, let us know if there are any queries.



All the best and see you all soon!

Sarah
