Policies and Procedures to create a SIG
The Special Interest Groups (SIGS)
provide a forum within CIES for the
involvement of individuals drawn
together by common interest in a field
of study. Recognized SIGS will receive
conference space at the annual
conference.
Any group of at least 15 active CIES
active members may petition for the
establishing of a SIG. Each
petition should include the printed
names, emails and/or mailing address,
and signatures of the members, as well
as a
rationale describing the purpose,
scope, and uniqueness of the SIG and its
membership. These petitions will be
reviewed and accepted or rejected by the
CIES Board of Directors. Approved
SIGS are required to submit a
yearly annual report. SIGs will be
assessed dues to the Association of $150
annual dues to partially defray Society
costs for supporting the SIGs. Please see
the
policies and procedures for
development and activities of CIES SIGS.
To register your interest in creating or
joining a SIG, please send an email to
secretariat@cies.us
