Hi all,
As the deadline for AAG abstract submissions approaches (currently October 30), I wanted to bump the process for EESG session sponsorship!
How do I request sponsorship?
To request sponsorship, please complete this sponsorship request form.
Why request sponsorship?
Sponsorship by the EESG (or any other specialty group) can improve the visibility of your session in the AAG portal and through specialty group communications. EESG sponsored sessions are including it in our biweekly Outreach Digest and will be highlighted in further outreach material closer to AAG itself.
Are there requirements for sponsorship by the EESG?
Your session description should be relevant to the EESG and its broad conceptualization of energy and the environment. You are not required to be an EESG membership in order to receive sponsorship, though this is encouraged!
Note that effective March 31, 2025, the EESG leadership team voted to require all events, gatherings, happenings, or meetings to have a virtual option for participation in order to receive our official sponsorship. Virtual options include (but are not limited to) virtual streaming, hybrid sessions, with or without an option to have the have the event recorded for asynchronous viewing and future engagement. This decision was made to support the EESG's ongoing commitments to climate action, decarbonizing AAG meetings, and improving accessibility of EESG events to those who cannot be physically present.
Who do I contact if I have questions?
Further questions about EESG sponsorship of sessions should be directed to the EESG email (aag....@gmail.com) or the current EESG secretary, Maddy Kroot (maddy...@wisc.edu).
When will I hear back about my sponsorship request?
You will hear back within a week via email about your request. Upon email approval of your sponsorship request, you will need to manually add EESG sponsorship to your session within the AAG portal.
Thanks all,
The EESG Leadership Team
