As 2018 comes to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to and thank the many volunteers that served the CGS in 2018. The extensive commitments of numerous Canadian Geotechnical Society volunteers are one of the key reasons CGS is able to provide the many services and benefits that we do.
CGS members (over 300) volunteer in many capacities: serving on the Executive Committee; the Board of Directors; the 20 Local Sections and their Executive Committees; the seven Technical Divisions, their Executive Committees and members; the eight Standing Committees; the Geotechnical Research Board; the Editors, Associate Editors and Reviewers of the Canadian Geotechnical Journal; the Editor of and contributors to CGS News; the local organizing committees of Geohazards 7 and GeoEdmonton 2018 as well as the local organizing committees wrapping up past CGS conferences or planning future CGS conferences; representing the CGS and/or Canada on affiliated national and international organizations; and in any others ways that we may have missed! You know who you are and we “thank you” on behalf of the CGS members.
We also wish to thank our corporate sponsors who generously contributed to CGS this year. Our 2018 corporate sponsors include:
And our thanks also go out to the CGS National Office staff – Michel Aubertin (Executive Director), Wayne Gibson (Director of Administration and Finance), Lisa McJunkin (Director of Communications and Member Services) and Emily Fournier (Communications Coordinator) – for their contributions to the success of the Canadian Geotechnical Society.
