The Geotechnical Research Board (GRB) is the Society's forum in which all aspects and matters regarding geotechnical and geoscience research are gathered, analyzed, discussed and appropriately and effectively dealt with. The mandate of the GRB is to monitor, stimulate and promote research in geotechnical and geoscience fields for the benefit of the profession and Canada.
The GRB acts as the national and international spokesperson on all issues and aspects of geotechnical research in Canada. It can be the depository and data bank for recent and on-going, as well as planned, research.
The GRB is headed by a Chairperson selected and appointed for a three year, once renewable, term of office by the Society President. The Board's Chairperson reports to the Society President. There is a minimum of six and a maximum of fifteen members of the Board selected jointly by the Board's Chairperson and the Society President and appointed for a three year, once renewable term of office by the Board's Chairperson. Terms of office of Board members are arranged in such a way that each year about a third of the members are replaced (staggered terms of office).
