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<http://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.
