Annual Meeting Events, Reminders and Tips
Job Fair 2009
The mission of the 2009 RANGELAND JOB FAIR is to match prospective employers from the Federal Agencies, State and Provincial Governments, Private Industry, Academia, and Conservation Organizations with the high caliber of educated and enthusiastic prospects from SRM. The job fair will involve a full day on Sunday February 8, 2009. We encourage all interested meeting attendees to drift through and browse the JOB FAIR between other scheduled activities, meetings and workshops. For more information, go to the 2009 Job FairRangeland Careers 2009
SRM is concerned about the future management of rangelands. We are
especially concerned about the future of the workforce dedicated to
managing these lands. Current information reveals that at least 25-33% of
this workforce will likely retire in the next 10 years. Who will fill their
shoes?In order to start addressing these concerns, SRM is expanding its job
hiring and career development opportunities at the 2009 62nd SRM Annual Meeting and Trade Show in Albuquerque, New Mexico February 8-12, 2009. Preliminary
information and scheduling for planned activities is now available on
the SRM website.
