Hi everyone! Happy start of summer, I hope that you all have fantastic summer vacation plans. Me personally, I will be in Oslo for the entire month of June! Fjords and glacial till here I come! If you are still looking to fill out your summer plans, please consider volunteering with RMAG. The D&I committee has several great volunteer opportunities in June that would love to have you. Reach out to Bridget for more information.

The May Board of Directors meeting took place May 16th, 2023, at 4:15pm online. All board members were present. The Finance committee started off the meeting with an overview of the financial standing in April. Thanks to the investment account April ended net positive.

The Educational Outreach committee has a full schedule of events for this year. All the events that they participate in have been very successful and inspire a love of geology in kids. On the Rocks, has a full slate of great field trips planned this year. Registration is open for most so sign up today! 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.
