SGS Committees

At present, SGS has nine standing committees: the Communications Committee, Executive Committee, Education Committee, Finance Committee, Membership Committee, Nominating Committee, Postgraduate Committee, Research Committee, and Scientific Program Committee.

Each year in late October or early November, SGS conducts a Call for Volunteers to serve on various committees. The vacancies and open positions vary from year to year based on member terms and other society developments. The general term of service on SGS committees is three years, which begins immediately after the spring SGS Annual Meeting.
