New US Reps & "Search" for Subcommittee Members
PIANC USA just selected its representatives for the newest PIANC working groups (see below). Additionally, each working group is supported by a subcommittee that assists the principal representatives with preparation of the U.S. portions of the report. No travel is required for subcommittee involvement since the work can be handled via e-mail. If you are interested in participating on the subcommittee or have questions about current working groups, please email pianc@usace.army.mil.

Open "Call for Members" - Recommendations for the Design of Marine Oil Terminals
The US Section can appoint a Principal Representative, an Alternate, and a "Young Professional" - someone 40 and under. The Principal Representative should be able to attend meetings of the working group, which are usually held in a European city, approximately twice per year. PIANC USA does not provide travel or per diem expenses for working group participants, so this support must be provided by the individual or his/her agency/company. If interested in serving as a US Rep. or on the US subcommittee, please send a brief CV to Kelly Barnes at kelly.j.barnes@usace.army.mil (703-428-9090). Deadline: July 15, 2010.
