Dear Colleagues,

You will shortly receive an invitation to vote for one candidate to serve a three-year term on the Hubbard Brook Science Coordinating Committee. We are using Survey Monkey to conduct the balloting. The votes will be anonymous and the order of the list of candidates will be randomized for each view of the ballot. The invitation will come from me (jbattles@berkeley.edu).

Please vote by March 11.

The role of the SCC is described below (from LTER proposal).

Please contact me if you have questions.

John

The Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study is governed by a Committee of Scientists (COS), which consists of the core group of active PI-level scientists working at the site (currently 67 members). A Scientific Coordinating Committee (SCC) functions as an executive committee for the COS, providing leadership, vision, and coordination. The SCC has seven members: four elected by the COS, the Lead Scientist for the Forest Service HB project, the Executive Director of the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation, and the PI of the HBR-LTER grant. There is also one non-voting external advisor, currently Ivan Fernandez of the University of Maine. The SCC elects a chair from within its membership and appoints members to three standing committees (Education and Outreach, Information Management, and Research Approval), as well as ad hoc committees constituted as needed
