SPECIFIC TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES
Participation as a Trustee is voluntary; there are no dues or fees.
The primary role of Trustee members is to raise funds to support
specific programs sponsored by the Foundation. The AGIF seeks members
who are geoscience leaders in industry, academia, and government,
and who have a keen interest in promoting Earth science, particularly
in education. Industry members should demonstrate a willingness
to contribute time and effort toward raising funds to further the
goals of AGI and its Foundation. All members should provide some
financial support to the Foundation consistent with their own abilities
and needs. The Foundation recognizes that the amount each person
can donate will vary significantly but Trustee members’ contributions
can be in many forms and should not always be measured in financial
terms.
The Foundation's primary responsibilities include:
-
Seeking corporate, private foundation, and individual support
for AGI programs and activities;
-
Securing gifts and endowment funds to generate income for approved
new and discretionary programs;
-
Evaluating AGI programs funded through the Foundation to assure
their conforming with the funding plans;
-
Providing advice to AGI on trends in industry, government,
and education relating to AGI programs and serving as a resource
for AGI, its Executive Committee, and staff.
