ON TO THE FUTURE (OTF)
Be a Part of the Movement
Since 2013, GSA has helped 350 students from underrepresented groups attend their first GSA Annual Meeting.
Support from members is instrumental in shaping careers, changing lives, and diversifying our profession.
Join us as we look forward to another successful year by mentoring an OTF student at the meeting and/or donating
to support a student (https://www.gsafweb.org/donate/#fund=on-to-the-future-initiative-fund).

JUMPSTART YOUR CAREER AT GSA’S ANNUAL MEETING
If you are interested in a career in government or industry, you won’t want to miss the GeoCareers Day
on Sunday, 25 September. You can interact with professionals from government and industry sectors
and ask them career-related questions. This program includes a career workshop, booths highlighting careers
and career opportunities, a lunch panel of professional representatives, and 30 mentors
with a variety of careers with whom you will interact in a small group setting.
