[Ieee_vis] Invitation to apply for open positions on the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee

[Miriah Meyer]

The IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC) is the governance body that oversees and sponsors all IEEE visualization and virtual reality conferences including VIS, VR, 3DUI, ISMAR, Pacific Vis, and EuroVis (as a co-sponsor). The VGTC has open positions. 

The VGTC is the main interface for these research communities with the IEEE Computer Society (CS), and also maintains close ties with the publications TVCG (Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics) and CG&A (Computer Graphics and Applications). 

The VGTC fulfills many important roles including: approval and oversight of conferences, symposia, and workshops; oversight of publications through interactions with the IEEE CS Publications Board; getting involved in policy and budget decisions at the IEEE CS-level that affect the research community; and awarding the IEEE VGTC Career and Technical Achievement Awards.

There are a number of open volunteer service positions on the VGTC. Any member of the VGTC community is welcome to apply. Previous or current experience at the conference management or conference executive committee level is a plus. Our current open positions are:


Ethics Officer - Lead for addressing ethical issues that arise in the VGTC community. Follow IEEE procedure for addressing concerns in concert with conference committees, executive committees, editors and IEEE personnel. 
 
Industrial Relations Chair - Lead for VGTC relations to the visualization, computer graphics and virtual reality industrial community. Work with VGTC conferences to understand and promote best industry outreach practices. 

Online Communities Chair - Lead for building and sustaining VGTC relationships with online VIS and VR communities. Work with VGTC communications to support open and transparent governance. 


Your application should consist of an email describing your experience, ideas for the position you are applying for, and your CV sent to chair at vgtc.org. All applications will be evaluated by the VGTC.

Please forward this message to potential candidates in the VGTC community. Please feel free to contact me (vice-chair at vgtc.org <mailto:chair at vgtc.org>) or Jim Ahrens (chair at vgtc.org <mailto:chair at vgtc.org>) with any questions. 

Sincerely,

Miriah Meyer
VGTC vice-chair
