Dear colleagues,

As we celebrate the achievements of our colleagues recognized by the AGU Honors Program this week, we invite you to consider joining the Space Physics and Aeronomy Nomination Task Force (NTF) for its 7th year.

The NTF, founded in 2017, is dedicated to identifying deserving SPA members from historically marginalized groups and nominating them for awards and honors, thereby building a diverse pipeline for awards committees. The NTF offers valuable support in finding suitable awards, forming nomination teams, and assembling nomination packages from start to finish.

How You Can Get Involved:

– Volunteer and become a member of the NTF: Join the NTF (https://forms.gle/rnyanX5XWCmDK7Z68) 

– Suggest a colleague as a nominee: Nominate a Colleague (https://forms.gle/SfarKfHsLrHbuv1r6) 

NTF meetings are held monthly before the nomination cycle begins and bi-weekly during the cycle. For more information, including an FAQ, please visit our website (https://connect.agu.org/spa/committees/ntf). If you have any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at agu.spa.nominationtaskforce@gmail.com.

Your participation is crucial in promoting diversity and recognizing excellence in our field.
