As with last year's election process, all candidates will be presented to the AAPG membership via two brief videos:
- One video, a "mini-bio" featuring personal photos, provides a quick look at the candidate's professional career as well as their involvement with AAPG.
- The second video features a Q&A format, allowing the candidates a chance to share their thoughts, priorities and visions for AAPG.
The videos will be published on the AAPG website in mid-December.
Also, printed material will be inserted in the January EXPLORER that provides biographical information for all candidates, as well as their responses to the statement, "Why I accepted the invitation to be a candidate for an AAPG office."
(Associate and student members are not eligible to vote — but to upgrade your membership status, contact your delegate or an AAPG member services representative.)
Ballots will be mailed in the spring.
