Polar Educators International (PEI) announces a call for applications to
serve on the PEI Council. The one-year council term begins 1 March 2014.

The Council, elected annually, assumes a volunteer leadership role
within PEI. The council shapes goals, sets objectives, and makes
decisions about the functions of PEI. Along with a Secretariat (host),
they organize activities for polar educators around the world, shaping
the future of PEI and building its international presence. For
additional information on the duties and responsibilities of a council
member, please see the Council Charter, at:
http://www.polareducator.org/about/council/council-charter.

Any PEI member interested in being actively involved in the organization
can become a council member, and some applicants will be solicited by
the Steering Committee and advisory members, while others may be new to
PEI. There are organizational and individual membership slots, both of
which follow the same application procedure.

Applicants will be notified of a decision by 21 February, and the
council term begins 1 March 2014. To apply for a council position,
