In order to better serve and inform current and prospective members, CGS is pleased to introduce a new column entitled “From the CGS Board” to be published in our quarterly newsmagazine Geotechnical News. “From the CGS Board” will provide an opportunity for the Society’s divisions, committees and regional sections to feature their technical work, to describe their activities, and to comment on issues of interest. Be sure to look for the inaugural articles in the upcoming March issue of Geotechnical News.
