Greetings Middle Atlantic Geographers!

The 2006-2007 year has begun and we have many events planned for this year!
We hope that you will attend at least one event, and we hope that with a diversity of
activities there will be something of interest to all geographers. This year we are
planning a dinner meeting with a talk about global climate change and the Arctic, a
vibrant annual meeting in collaboration with the Southeast Regional group (SEDAAG),
and a ‘Behind-the-Scenes’ tour of the National Geographic Society’s offices in DC. See
below for a calendar of events, which will be updated periodically at our web site:
http://www.gwu.edu/~madaag/ and through email.

Our theme this year is membership development. We want to involve more
AAG members in the region in our MAD group, with a focus on recruiting new
leadership for the years to come. Working with the government, private sector and
academic geographers in the region, we are interested in expanding participation by
geographers from each sector in our region. Contact me to volunteer to participate, plan
an event, or suggest new events that may be of interest to geographers in our region.

Regards,
Molly Brown, Chair
