Monthly Telecon
The Standing Committee for Education has its monthly telecon on the third Thursday of the month at 2PM ET.
The call in information is 1-800-508-7631 *2720736*
- Post Comments Here About Strategic Plan
From Alan Gould: I think that the entire paragraph after the mission statement is unnecessary.
So I would recommend deleting:
"The evolution of the ESIP Federation (now approximately 100 members ) has been the result of growing opportunities within the Earth science community and is reflected in the way the ESIP Federation conducts its business. Historically, the ESIP Federation did much of its business through an active committee structure. One such committee, the Standing Committee on Education (Education Committee), has decided to examine its role, objectives and future through a strategic planning process that intends to focus its efforts and resources more effectively."
What could be more to the point is how many members are represented on the Ed Committee and how those representatives reach out to other ESIP members.
This would categorize within the following stated role:
• To promote and facilitate the collaboration of multiple ESIP’s to develop educational applications of Earth science data products, information, and tools
Strategic Goal 1c is particularly relevant to this role, but just as a comment, in practice, I think the Committee could do more by way of communication with Education staff of all 100 ESIP members. E.g. do we have a directory of Education staff for all the ESIP members? If so, how can I access it?
