APASEEM makes call for presentations

The Asia Pacific Academy of Sciences, Science Education, and Environmental Management (APASEEM) is presently putting forth this Call for Presentations for its upcoming annual meeting Nov 8 and 9, 2017 (possible addition of Nov 7). APASEEM is pleased to encourage regional scientists, science teachers, and resource managers to contribute announcements via our website, at www.apaseem.org. Please help APASEEM distribute this announcement widely to all on your professional contacts list.

This year APASEEM is looking to mesh its conference schedule to other events in the hopes of saving on flights and expenses for presenters and attendee’s alike. As in the past, APASEEM has reserved American Memorial Park Auditorium (which seats up to 112 people) as the venue for the conference.

All interested science and environmental professionals—and teachers and students of these disciplines—are encouraged to develop a 15- to 20-minute presentation on their recent work which may be of interest to the CNMI’s science, science education, and environmental management community. To get scheduled on the meetings’ agenda, just contact any officer (see email addresses below). A topical title and a brief abstract (one paragraph) of your talk will help us to better advertise our conference, so please send these at your earliest convenience. For examples please see past years’ talks on APASEEM’s website.

APASEEM is also using this opportunity to continue its ongoing membership drive. Please spread the word that APASEEM mostly operates on annually due membership fees and contributions. If you’ve been thinking about becoming a dues-paying active member, or if your affiliation or agency is able to do so, please encourage this and join APASEEM. Two reminders; most of us find it easy to pay at or around the date of our annual conference, and fees for professional organizations are tax deductible. Please note speakers get half off on annual fees if they’ve presented sometime during the previous year. Group rates are available for any organization, public or private, see website for fees and mailing address. Potential new members and/or potential group officers are highly encouraged to make contact with us.

As background, APASEEM’s updated Academy’s Synopsis document is included on its website.
