VEXAG meeting group dinner
The VEXAG Planning Committee has made a reservation in one of the family rooms at the Troll Pub Under the Bridge on Sunday, November 17 at 6:00 pm. This is not a catered event, os there is no cover charge. We will each order off the regular menu. But it is an opportunity for us all to get together outside of the meeting proper and enjoy what Louisville has to offer. Check out the menu at the link below. We hope to see many of you there!

VEXAG is now accepting self-nominations to the Steering Committee
The VEXAG steering committee is composed of 14-20 volunteer community members (depending on year and workload) plus Chair and Deputy Chair along with the Prior Chair. This small group seeks to be representative of the full spectrum of the Venus community. This includes, as much as possible, equitable representation of different career stages, discipline (e.g., science and its sub-specialties and engineering/technology and its sub-specialties), institutions (e.g., academic, center, industry), backgrounds, ethnicities, identities, cultures.
The VEXAG Steering Committee is looking to fill two positions: 1) Deputy Chair and 2) Steering Committee member-at-large
Applicants are required to send a current CV, and short ~1-page statement of interest, goals, and experience to the Steering Committee. Nominees may select a preferred Jan or July start time and that will be taken into consideration. Applicants are encouraged, but not required, to self-identify gender, whether they are from an underrepresented group in STEM, etc.
Email your nomination to VEXAG Chair Noam Izenberg (noam.i...@jhuapl.edu) before November 30th. Review and voting on new SC members will take place in the December SC meeting.
If you are interested in applying for either position, you can find out more at:
