Service Roles

​I am and have been engaged in a number of substantive roles within the overall discipline of geography as well as some of its sub-fields:
  • Executive Director, Applied Geography Conferences  (the "AGC")
  • Past Chair, Business Geography Specialty Group of the AAG (the "BGSG")
  • Past Chair, Southwest Division of the AAG ("SWAAG")
  • Continued service on multiple departmental and UNT committees

The Applied Geography Conferences is an annual, international meeting of researchers and practitioners with common interests in applied geography. As a relatively small conference (usually 100-200 faculty, practitioners, and students in attendance), the AGC is a great venue to meet and have in-depth discussions with other geography professionals. But as an international conference it always includes diverse views and approaches to geographic problems, as well as a variety of experts in many fields. The AGC is an especially helpful venue for geography practitioners, educators, and students to connect. The AGC meets every fall, usually in October or early November. My priorities as incoming AGC executive director are highlighted here.

​I invite anyone interested in geography to join the American Association of Geographers and attend its annual national and regional meetings. The AAG is a great organization for connecting with students and faculty with similar or overlapping interests. The main AAG annual meeting happens every spring. Our Business Geography Specialty Group within the AAG is a place where people who are interested in the intersection of business and geography can meet to exchange resources and ideas, and develop new professional connections.

The Southwest Division of the AAG is a dynamic group of faculty, students, and practitioners that supports geographic research and education across the Southwest region, which encompasses Texas and neighboring states. SWAAG puts on a fun and interesting annual meeting (held every fall, often in late October or early November).
