GLIN==> IAGLR Conference Coordinator

IAGLR Conference Coordinator - Position Available

Deadline:  5 October 2010

The International Association for Great Lakes Research (IAGLR) convenes an annual scientific conference that is held at a university or conference center, comprising the most visible activity of the Association. The annual conferences are also a significant source of monetary support for furthering the overall objectives of the Association.  The task of planning for the annual IAGLR conference, managing the scientific program, arranging the logistics for the facilities, ensuring continuity amongst conferences, and directing all the related activities requires a tremendous amount of time, effort, follow-through and dedication to the entire process.  It also requires a high level of understanding of the online abstract submission process, program scheduling software, and registration software.  Therefore, maintaining the success and year-to-year integrity of the conference are very important for the Association.

The Association is seeking to staff a part-time IAGLR Conference Coordinator to work with the host Site Chair/Co-Chairs, who are responsible for planning and staging IAGLR conferences, and with the IAGLR Conference Committee Chair who serves as the liaison between the IAGLR Board of Directors, the site Chair/co-Chairs, and their local planning committees. The next IAGLR 2011 conference is being held in Duluth, MN. Interested individuals for this position are invited to submit a 1-2 page application for this position, including: (1) a brief summary of experience, including conference planning,  (2) list of the tasks that an effective Conference Coordinator should be responsible for, and (3) a proposed monetary compensation package that you deem fair, including justification for line items.

Please submit your application by Oct. 5, 2010 to Dr. Robert Letcher (Robert.Letcher at ec.gc.ca<mailto:Robert.Letcher at ec.gc.ca> ), Chair, IAGLR Conference Committee. The IAGLR Board will subsequently make a rapid decision to the successful applicant.
