    Greetings to our Geoarchaeology Division members!

    We are excited to invite nominations to the GSA Geoarchaeology Division Management Board!

    I've been on the Management Boards of a couple Divisions and have found that the experience opened a lot of doors for me in addition to increasing my inner circle!

    We have 2 positions open this year:

    • Vice-Chair (6-yr term, rotates to chair, and then past chair)
    • Student representative (2-yr term)

    You can send your nominations to Scott, (spike@willamette.edu), Fred (fandrus@ua.edu), and/or Rebecca (Rebecca.Taormina@np.edu).

    For reference, the current board is:
