Call to Action
GSA Council, leaders, and staff join together in
inviting all members to engage with the Society on
this exciting journey to make GSA all that it can be
over the next ten years.
Whatever your career stage, however much time or
money you have to contribute, your participation will
make all the difference. In large and small ways, each
geoscientist adds to the fabric of our community and
makes it richer and stronger with their presence.
GSA will… “increase support of
geoscientists who want to advocate
for the importance of science.”
Like most everything in life, you will receive as much from this professional association as you put
into it. GSA stands ready to serve and assist all of you in the geoscience community, as we have
done for over 130 years. We look forward to meeting the challenges of our shared aspirations and
moving forward together into the next decade.
