03/21/2011 12:00 MDT - The GLOBE Selection Advisory Group (SAG) was formed to provide advice on the selection of the next GLOBE Program Office (PGO) Director. The committee was assembled by Dr. Jack Fellows, UCAR Vice President and current Acting GPO Director. On 1 February 2011, Dr. Fellows appointed nine individuals to serve as representatives of GLOBE’s broad community of stakeholders.
Worldwide, the GLOBE Community was invited to help nominate candidates for a new GPO Director. Applications were received from 35 candidates and 21 were deemed qualified to proceed to the next stage of review. All members of SAG reviewed the applicants’ materials and assigned points based on a rigorous scoring system. From this exercise, the list of applicants was honed to six. These six candidates were then required to respond to a written exercise on leadership, management, and programmatic vision.
