Emerging Professionals Committee

About

The mission of the Emerging Professionals Group (EPG) is to generate ideas that will bring about our greater involvement in the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC), and to offer more opportunities for connections, mentorship, and professional development tailored to emerging professionals working with natural history collections.

The Emerging Professionals Group (EPG) was founded by Kari Harris and a group of emerging professionals at the annual SPNHC meeting in Rapid City, South Dakota in June 2013. As of January 2014, we have attained a membership of 25 individuals from all over the world. We would like to expand the group to include more emerging professionals from both domestic and international arenas. Look for us at Annual Meetings of SPNHC!
