Subcommittee Membership

The committee should consist of 10-15 members including a Chairperson and Co-chair, a Student/New Investigator Co-chair, at least one student member, at least one new investigator member, and the membership should be representative of academia, government and industry. Committee members are expected to serve for three years. Continued participation with the committee beyond the three-year term is encouraged.

Subcommittee Leadership

The committee selects two Co-chairs with the approval of the president. The Co-chairs select a new investigator Co-chair. Their terms are staggered. The responsibilities of the Co-chairs are as follows:

• Co-Chair I is responsible for: Calling and chairing a meeting during the annual meeting, coordinating with the Council Liaison to generate/submit annual and mid-year reports to the EMGS Council, organizing student and new investigator 
  brunch. 
• Co-chair II is responsible for: Organizing the poster and presentation judging competition during the annual meeting and assisting with the annual reports and meetings.

Subcommittee Roles and Responsibilities

• Based on the recent restructuring of EMGS Committees, ESNIA is now included within Membership and Professional Development along with Diversity and Inclusion. ESNIA will still continue to operate independently to fulfill its specific responsibilities, but overall the committee will coordinate activities and initiatives within the greater context of this reorganization.
• Conduct a committee meeting at the annual meeting and create a 1-year plan of action during the meeting
• Organize student/new investigator brunch during annual meeting
• Organize and recruit judges for the student and new investigator posters and presentations at the annual meeting
• Coordinate mentoring activities at the meeting and during the year with the Membership committee
• Recruit students and new investigators to attend the annual meeting by interacting with the local meeting site committee and program committee
