At the AGM a vote will be taken to determine the membership of the 2019 committee. All members of the AGS are invited to attend and nominate for committee membership. Office bearers will be elected from amongst the committee members at a meeting early in 2019. After the AGM Janet Leitch OAM will give an illuminated talk about her experiences walking Europe’s pilgrim trails (see accompanying flier)
The work of the committee typically includes organising technical meetings, training courses, seminars and field trips. Membership of the committee is a great way of getting leadership skills, enhancing your reputation in the profession and meeting other geotechnical engineers, including some of the world’s best.
