Organizing Committee

The success of a society conference depends on a strong partnership between volunteers, meeting planners, and staff. The members of the SEG 2017 Organizing Committee are a dedicated and energetic group of mostly volunteers who represent the makeup of the Society in terms of industry, academia, governmental, and non-profit organizations. SEG thanks all of these individuals and their respective organizations for their commitment to planning this important event.
