10 SEG NEWSLETTER No 78 JULY 2009 A SPECIAL REQUEST FOR SUPPORT The cumulative impact of many small donations can make a big difference! The financial assets held by the Society of Economic Geologists Foundation have been impacted by the substantial decline in stock markets around the world. Consequently, continued support of our student education programs at similar levels to the past three years is threatened in the years ahead. The demographics of an aging workforce of economic geologists are independent of the current global economic downturn, and we believe it is imperative to maintain a robust pipeline of capable students going forward. The Trustees of SEG Foundation, the Directors of the SEG Canada Foundation, and the Council Members of the Society all remain convinced that support for our student education programs is essential to our industry, our Society and the world. Over three years ago, the Trustees for the SEG Foundation approved new initiatives to more broadly support education in economic geology. We did this to rekindle enthusiasm in the field and develop the next generation of economic geologists to fill the widening gap left by retiring members. These initiatives include the Graduate Student Research Grants Program, the Graduate Student Fellowship Program and the Student Field Trip Program. As a result of these and other initiatives, SEG Foundation provided $149,924, $439,626 and $427,176 for student support in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. These programs have true global reach and we continue to see membership applications from a broadening base of countries. We have seen strong growth in student membership during the last three years and these initiatives have bolstered the flow of economic geologists from students to working professionals. To provide continued strong funding of our SEG Foundation Student Programs, we are making this SPECIAL REQUEST FOR SUPPORT. We are asking every member of our society to make an additional $50 contribution to the SEG Foundation to support these programs. We are also asking our corporate supporters to make an additional $1,000 to $2,500 donation. All SEGF Trustees and SEG Council Members have committed their support and individual contributions! The cumulative impact of these small additional donations from all of us will make a big difference. Please help support our students through these very important programs – they are the future of SEG. Thank you! STUDENT FACTS over the past 3 years (2006-2008): * 34 active SEG Student Chapters Worldwide have grown to 46 – an all-time high! * 422 Student Members Worldwide have increased to 892 – an all-time high! * 1,870 Students were supported by SEG Foundation Programs * $1,016,726 in total support was provided to students by the SEG Foundation Your Contributions Do Make A Difference!
