Here are our priorities for the upcoming year, as agreed on at our August 6, 2018 meeting:
Membership drive (ways to make the section more useful and relevant and therefore re-engage existing members and then start to expand):
a. Survey existing members about what they would like the section to do. Ask, what activities would be helpful? For example, workshops on data analysis, project management, data management?
b. Survey existing members to potentially collect a group of graduate students to highlight interesting and useful papers on the twitter feed on a regular basis. Alternatively, we could start with some of our own graduate students and/or those in our departments.
Submit a proposal for an Inspire session for ESA 2019 (is everyone planning to go given issues?). Kendi is starting to work on this and will lead.
Start working to organize an award for the best paper produced by section members in the previous year, to be awarded at our annual mixer at the ESA meeting. One approach would be to recruit a group of postdocs as a committee (other ideas?).
This year or next....
Apply for a small "Long Range Planning" grant so that we can commision a logo and potentially make some swag for the ESA meeting 2019.
