-Agenda:.<br />
-) The ESIP Executive Committee has requested that each committee chair review your committee's purpose in the current ESIP bylaws. The ExCom will discuss if all standing committees are needed moving forward and if we need to clarify names, purposes of these groups.
-:Here are the bylaws for Education:

-:V.6.1 The ESIP Federation shall include a Standing Committee for Education. Its purpose is to make accessible to educators and learners at all levels in both formal and informal educational contexts the Earth science data, information, tools, and curricula available within the ESIP Federation. Its roles are:
-:
-:a. To promote and facilitate the development and dissemination of Earth science educational products, information, and tools to a broad user community using the wealth of Earth science data and expertise available in the ESIP Federation.

-) Here is the Education Committee report I posted for the November ExComm meeting:
-*The Education Committee has posted the alpha version of its e-book of drone activities. Shelley Olds has developed a pair of surveys we will use to gather feedback on the activities.
-*Margaret Mooney presented the e-book content in a session at the Midwest Regional meeting of the National Science Teachers Association in Minneapolis on October 28. Twenty-nine enthusiastic participants showed up (some even took test flights!) for her late Friday afternoon session. The activities were well received and several participants indicated they would try them with students.
