RMAG FEBRUARY 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

By Sandra Labrum, Secretary slabrum@slb.com

Hi everyone! Hope you had a fantastic Valentine’s Day and like me are looking forward to Spring in Colorado! Here’s hoping that you all can get the Claritin you need when allergy season strikes.

The February Board of Directors meeting took place February 15th, 2023, at 4pm online. All board members expect two were present. The Finance committee started off the meeting with an overview of the financial standing in January. January proved to be a solid start for the year, showing a strong balance sheet due to Summit Sponsorships and member renewals.

The Continuing Education Committee is continuing to host hybrid lunches with great success, albeit noisy success this month. Lily Horne will be presenting in March, Interpretation, Characterization, and Rupture Hazard Assessment of Faults in the Permian Basin. The Membership committee is continuing to revise the mentorship program to make it a more meaningful experience for the participants. We are also continuing the RMAG Women’s Group into the new year. The March coffee will be on March 7th at

Vibe Coffee sponsored by Raptor Consulting. The Publications Committee is still hard at work making sure there is high quality content for both the Outcrop and the Mountain Geologist. They are currently looking for a new editor for the Mountain Geologist. If you are interested, please reach out. The Educational Outreach committee has a full schedule of events for this year. The next big event is Girls in STEM in March which I am personally looking forward to. On the Rocks, has started to finalize the trips for this year so keep an eye on your email for the signups. The registration for the San Juan River trip is open now! Finally, Diversity and Inclusion committee has been hard at work bringing you member corners in each Outcrop as well as cohosting the women’s group coffee. The committee is also going to continue assisting with the youth programs for the Center on Colfax.

I hope you all have a fantastic March and hope to see you at the Helium Conference later this month. Until next time!
