CANDIDATE FOR AIPG NATIONAL 2022 PRESIDENT-ELECT
Jim Jacobs CPG-7760
Mill Valley, California
Statement of Purpose or Goals you have for AIPG: AIPG must be relevant and provide important professional benefits to all current members while building more diversity at the membership and leadership levels. Building a strong inclusivity presence in the industry will attract many students and Early Career Professionals. If elected, I plan to evaluate several similar professional societies for possible new ideas on implementing more successful outreach to graduates, better retention of young members, improved activation rates of the general membership, incentives to retain our senior and retiring members as they settle into their golden years and more efficient communication strategies within AIPG and the public.

Brab candidate message, continued from p. 24
but a central and organized system to aggregate these com- ponents would help expand their effectiveness. A database of professionals that could be queried by prospective members and then paired with an individual mentor would be a valuable tool that could draw interest in the organization and endow new membership. Revisiting the aforementioned CE topic, workshops and training opportunities to improve communica- tion skills, technical acumen, resume writing, and interview etiquette would provide skills beneficial to employers, and incentivize student participation and interaction in outreach resources hosted and supported by AIPG.

To consistently and continually defend attacks that threaten our profession, we need to support CE adoption and member- ship growth so we not only survive, but thrive. With this, we also need support from our colleagues as we face these hurdles to save the geological profession. As Secretary, I would strive to introduce improvements and strengthen efforts that are already in place or under development, and seek to use my position, relatively young age, and proclivity for technology and data archiving to advance this mission.
