Hello UKPN members,
As you will all know, UKPN is the UK branch of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS).
APECS is currently looking for nominations for the next Executive Committee – an excellent opportunity to get involved in our international “mother” organisation!
As UKPN is one of APECSs strongest and most active national branches, it would be great, if UKPN would continue to be represented in the APECS ExCom.
Consider applying!
See the call for nominations below.

Subject: [APECS] REMINDER: Nominations open for the 2012-2013 APECS Executive Committee
Dear APECS members,
This is a reminder that we will have elections again in September for a new APECS Executive Committee for the 2012-2013 term! The application deadline is 9 September 2012!
The purpose of this email is to encourage YOU to consider applying for the new APECS Executive Committee or nominating someone you think would do a great job of shaping our organization.
APECS is now an internationally respected association and is recognized as one of the major legacies of the 4th International Polar Year. Our great members, particularly those of our past APECS Executive Committees and Councils have largely contributed to this through their excellent and hard work. To maintain this high level of success, and bring new vision and ideas to APECS, it is truly important for you to be active in this election.
Now YOU get the chance to influence the future of polar research!

How do you apply?

- a statement of interest detailing why you are interested in serving on the APECS Executive Committee; how you would like to contribute to APECS as a member of the APECS Executive Committee. Please also include any past involvement in organizing APECS activities, or other experiences that would make you a good candidate.
