The Arizona Geological Society (AGS) is a non-profit scientific organization founded in 1948 whose purpose is to promote and encourage interest in the science of geology and in the geology of the State of Arizona.〔Spencer, J.E. and Titley, S.R., 2008, Ores and Orogenesis: Circum-Pacific Tectonics, Geologic Evolution, & Ore Deposits: Arizona Geological Society, Digest 22, p.2.〕 The Society holds monthly meetings, and sponsors field trips and symposia. Membership is open to professional geoscientists and those who are interested in Arizona geology. Membership categories include Voting Members, Student Members, Honorary Life Members, and 50-Year Members. Honorary Life Members include: Spencer R. Titley (1996), John M. Guilbert (1998), Walter E. Heinrichs, Jr. (2008), Donald Hammer (April 2009), and Corolla Hoag (2010). Institutional members includes the current Director of the Arizona Geological Survey in Tucson. AGS Maps, Digests, and Guidebooks are published at irregular intervals. == Governance == The society is managed by a 15-member Executive Committee consisting of Officers and Advisory Councilors who serve calendar-year terms. The Officers include President, Vice President-Field Trips, Vice President-Programs, Vice President-Marketing, Secretary, Vice-Secretary, Treasurer, and Vice-Treasurer; their duties are specified in the Bylaws of the society. The Advisory Council consists of six members who serve staggered three-year terms; their duties are to promote interest in AGS activities and supervise special projects undertaken by the society. The seventh member of the Advisory Council is the immediate Past-President who serves as Chair of the Advisory Committee. The Executive Committee serves without remuneration. There are three other committees nominated by the Executive Committee to perform specific duties. These include the Investment Committee, the J. Harold Courtright Scholarship Committee, and the Nominating Committee. * *The Investment Committee is the financial advisor to the Executive Committee and operates under guidance specified in the AGS "Mission, Financial Management and Investment Policy." * *The J. Harold Courtright Committee solicits applications from qualified graduate students who are researching field geology projects in the Northern and Southern Cordillera with emphasis on the study of ore deposits; this committee awards a scholarship annually in honor of former AGS member and ASARCO exploration geologist J. Harold Courtright (1908-1986). * *The Nominating Committee is chaired by the immediate Past-President who, along with 2-4 other voting members of AGS, prepares the proposed slate of incoming Officers and Councilors to be approved by the Executive Committee and presented to the membership in the election held in September. The J. Harold Courtright and Nominating Committees are disbanded after their duties are performed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arizona Geological Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
