HGS Internationalists Newsletter - June, 2005

HGS International Explorationists News
Two items for your attention this Summer:
1. July 1st is the early registration deadline for the HGS/PESGB Africa Conference in Houston on September 7th and 8th.
2. The Internationalist Directory will be published in September.  Please check your personal data now.

The HGS Internationalist Directory Will Be Published in September
It''s that time of year again when we start the preparations for the publication of the HGS International Explorationists Group Membership Directory. However, the benefit of this directory to you, the members, is only proportional to the accuracy of the information contained within it.  Especially in recent years it has become clear with so much corporate downsizing, rightsizing and mergers etc., that the information is not as up to date as it might be. 
The HGS Website''s database will be used to update the International Explorationists Group Directory. We would therefore like to urge everyone to take a few moments to visit the HGS website and update their personal information (see instructions below).
In order to give the printers sufficient time to generate the publication we ask that your information be updated by July 15th.
Many thanks for your help.

   Who Will Be In The Internationalist Directory?
The International Directory is prepared annually and lists only the members of  an HGS "user group" called Committee: International Explorationists Group which is maintained on-line at the HGS Website. The Internationalists Directory is separate from the annual HGS/GSH Directory which lists all members of both of those organizations.  The "International Explorationists Group" is a list of interested individuals who receive periodic short emails about International Group meetings and events and wish to have their name and contact information listed in the International Directory.
You need not be a member of the HGS in order to be a member of the HGS International Explorationists User Group.  However, you must be a registered user of the HGS Website and we encourage you to renew your HGS membership or to apply for membership if you are not currently a supporting member of the HGS.

How Do I Get In or Out of This Directory?  
To join, simply update the Group list in your Personal Information at HGS Website:
-Go to website and Log in.

To remove yourself from any user group, simply follow the same procedure and remove the check mark next to that user group name.
