AIC Committee on Sustainable Conservation Practice member sought

The AIC Sustainability Committee Seeks a Student Member
Term: June 2015 - May 2016

The Sustainability Committee is a dynamic group of conservation
professionals with diverse specialties whose mission is to provide
AIC members with resources on sustainability.  At the AIC annual
meetings, we host sustainability-themed sessions where members share
their experiences and tips, and have a booth in the vendor hall
where we share the committee's work and "green" conservation
products with the attendees.  Throughout the year, we keep the AIC
Sustainable Practices Wiki up-to-date, and write on the AIC Blog and
for the AIC News on research topics of interest.

The committee aims to:

    Provide resources for AIC members and other caretakers of
    cultural heritage regarding environmentally sustainable
    approaches to preventive care and other aspects of conservation
    practice.  Resources may be provided via electronic media,
    workshops, publications and presentations

    Define research topics and suggest working groups as needed to
    explore sustainable conservation practices and new technologies

Membership Parameters:

    The committee is comprised of 8 voting members.

    One member is a conservation graduate student

    Student members serve for one year

    As needed, corresponding (non-voting) members and non-AIC
    experts will be invited to guide research on special topics

Tasks:

    Telephone conference calls with the committee members--about
    once a month

    Research, write and edit the AIC Wiki Sustainable Practices Page

    Participate in researching and writing any group presentations,
    publications, blogs, and social media posts

    Collaborate with related committees, networks, and working
    groups

    Serve as liaison between the Sustainability Committee and the
    Emerging Conservation Professionals Network

    Initiate and support committee projects to increase awareness of
    sustainable practices in the conservation community

Please submit a statement of purpose (1 page maximum length) and
your resume by March 31, 2015 to Betsy Haude, Committee Chair.
