Really? ESB is the same week as ICSB? That kinda thins the audiences at both.

Actually, I don’t think “Veni” is an unusual name at all. I write it several
times a day whereas I only write “Schindel” about once every week or two.
More seriously, I’m leaving soon for the UIS Bureau meeting, which will be held
in conjunction with the EuroSpeleo, the European Speleological Congress, next
week. We have some big decisions to make, so while part of the webinar will be
background information, it will also have some brand new news.

Subject: [SWR CAVERS] Join Us for World Speleology: The International Union of
Speleology and the NSS. Presenter: George Veni
Folks,
As has been pointed out to me, George’s name was misspelled in the subject
area. The correct spelling is George Veni.
As you all realize, Veni is an unusual name and spell check doesn’t like it. I
think we got it right in the body of the test. The person that sent me the link
indicated that she had caught the misspellings but guess she didn’t catch them
all. I really had to look again to find it and then saw it in the subject area.
Anyway, I’ll check with George about possibly auctioning off renaming rights to
help support NCKRI. Might make it easier for everyone – including George.
Geary Schindel

Cavers know about caving opportunities and needs in their area. Many have a
pretty good idea of what’s happening nationally, but what about caving at the
global level?
Does it even affect you?
Can you get involved, and if so, how?
The International Union of Speleology (abbreviated “UIS”) is essentially the
United Nations of caving. It is composed of 54 member nations, working together
to advance cave and karst research and management, and especially exploration,
which makes everything else possible. The NSS represents the US to the UIS.
This webinar will give you the basic background on the UIS and focus on its
many projects around the world, how they merge with the goals of the NSS, and
how you can join them—even without leaving home.
For a pre-webinar preview of the UIS, visit www.uis-speleo.org.
George Veni is a long-time caver and lifetime NSS member who has been active in
many NSS and regional caving projects. For nearly the past 12 years he has been
best known as the Executive Director of the National Cave and Karst Research
Institute, (NCKRI). Since 2002 he has served on the UIS Bureau (governing
board), first as an Adjunct Secretary, and then eight years as the Vice
President of Administration. For the past year George has served as the only,
UIS President from the USA.
This webinar, and all webinars are recorded and stored on the NSS website,
www.caves.org for later viewing and downloading.
The opinions and views in this webinar are not necessarily those of the NSS.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information
about joining the webinar.
