[HubbardBrookCOS] Final call: Nominations for external advisor

[John BATTLES]

Dear Colleagues,

We need to appoint a new external advisor for Hubbard Brook (start date:
April 2019 COS meeting). Ivan Fernandez will have served wonderfully in
this role for six years and we need to replace him. The SCC has been
collecting nominations over the last few months from COS members (see
below). We plan to narrow the list down to three candidates for discussion
at our Jan 2019 COS meeting.



If you haven't already, please send us your nominations. In our discussion
of what makes a good advisor, we noted the value of appointing a colleague
who is able to participate regularly in the "life" of HBES. Therefore, we
seek nominations of people who are close enough in geographic distance to
participate regularly in our COS meetings. We have learned over time that
regular engagement by our external evaluator leads to a much deeper
understanding of the challenges and successes at Hubbard Brook and thus
more nuanced advice regarding the future. Please send us your nominations
by November  9, 2018.


Thank you.



Pam and John

SCC co-chairs





*Role of External Advisor*



The External Advisor serves a 3-year term, and becomes a member of the
Hubbard Brook community and the SCC, which is the steering committee for
the project. The external advisor provides a viewpoint on our current
science, our plans for future work, and other aspects of the functioning of
the HBES. The Hubbard Brook scientists meet quarterly, usually either at
Hubbard Brook or at the Cary Institute in Millbrook. We hope the external
advisor would attend as many of these meetings as possible, but at least
1-2 per year. All meetings include scientific “visioning” sessions, in
which we review current science and make plans for future projects, as well
as a short business session.
