Call for CAL-IPC Student Liaisons Applications
The California Invasive Plant Council is seeking two Student Liaisons to join our leadership team!
Student Liaisons have the opportunity to work with land managers and the Cal-IPC board members to plan events for the annual symposium and engage with the weed management community as part of a growing organization.
This is also a great opportunity to expand your network. Our Cal-IPC board is comprised of land managers, government employees, academics, and non-profit and private sector members.
This is a two-year commitment, so it provides plenty of time to build meaningful connections within the Cal-IPC community.
