DPS WOMEN IN PLANETARY SCIENCE DISCUSSION HOUR 2022 – OCT 4 HYBRID EVENT
Join us for the annual Division for Planetary Sciences Women in Planetary Science event in a hybrid format on October 4, Noon-1 Eastern. All are welcome! We will have both online and in person event hosts to facilitate conversation for both types of attendees. This year the format will be mostly small-group discussions on professional development topics. Please see more details and register for the event at http://bit.ly/DPS_WiPS_2022. The event is free to attend. A huge thanks(!) to our generous sponsor AURA (https://www.aura-astronomy.org/) for supporting this event again this year. We know plans change, but please register ASAP if there is a 50% chance you will attend either in person or virtual so we can start to plan. For in person, please register by August 15 – that is when we need to get the initial food order in.

ELECTION OPEN UNTIL AUG 12
You should have received your ballot in your email. If you can’t find your ballot, please email the DPS Secretary (Maria Womack) at [email protected]. This election has two components: voting for Division leaders and considering changes to the DPS Bylaws.
LEADERSHIP: This year we’re choosing a new Vice-Chair, two DPS Committee members, and one Student Representative to the DPS Committee. The Vice-Chair will become Chair in October 2023. Information and position statements for all candidates have been collected into this single PDF.
BYLAWS: The proposed amendments to the Bylaws are to add a new Officer of the Division (the Professional Culture & Climate Officer), and also whenever a post for all officers that work with subcommittees falls vacant to seek and consider recommendations from the relevant subcommittee’s members.
As stipulated by the DPS Bylaws, the proposed amendments to the Bylaws were first recommended by the Committee and then were submitted to and approved by the AAS Board of Trustees. The last step is for the proposed amendments to be ratified in a ballot by two-thirds of the Members voting. The amendments were presented and discussed at the 53rd DPS Conference members meeting in October 2021.
You can read the exact wording and changes markup in the DPS Bylaws Markup before voting FOR or AGAINST approval.

SURVEY TO GUIDE FUTURE DPS MEETING STRUCTURES BY JULY 25
The DPS Meetings Exploration Team (DPS-MXT) is working to identify options for future DPS fall meeting structures (e.g., virtual, in-person focused, or hybrid) that would best serve the full DPS community, and is soliciting input from the DPS community via a survey. The survey will take 5-30min to fill out (depending on your level of answer detail) and is at: https://bit.ly/3R6XUgD. More information about DPS-MXT can be found at meetings/dps-mxt, and questions/comments can be directed to the DPS-MXT Chair, Serina Diniega ([email protected]). Thank you for your help!
