The US Early Career Ocean Professionals (ECOP) node will have an “all-hands” meeting to get to know members of our node. Join for a discussion on ways that ECOP can support you and identify methods that can encourage cooperation and collaboration across the node. Before meeting, consider the following so that they can best identify ways to incorporate you into the node:
-
What support do you need? (what is currently missing that would be a top priority for the US ECOP node to prioritize?)
-
What ways do you feel comfortable engaging with the node? (i.e. share job/conference/professional development opportunities on slack, share announcements for and attend ECOP social events, post questions to the group to help grow your professional development and build network connections, etc)
Feel free to bring answers to these questions to our meeting directly, or reach out via email with your responses ahead of time and we can use them to drive discussion.
