What does SNAG mean to you? Why are you interested in committing your time and energy to our organization?
SNAG represents a community: a varied and always evolving collection of like-minded individuals who champion and challenge the existence, goals, knowledge and history of a discipline. While a student, this community was initially valuable to me as an educational resource. Over the years, it has grown into a continuing facilitator of relationships, dialogue, and opportunities.

I can contribute a portion of my own knowledge, experience, and achievement to this organization and its' members. My interest in taking a larger role in SNAG is because I find in it real value; so that I might be able to contribute positively to its future.
