Join a Committee and Get InvolvedSocial media committeeDescription: The social media committee will create and manage AGE Trainee chapter accounts on social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc…). The committee will be responsible for adding content (new papers, trainee accomplishments, training and funding opportunities, etc…) and live tweeting the annual AGE meeting.
Arts and promotional materials committee Description: The arts and promotional materials committee will develop aging and geroscience related images and solicit the greater AGE membership for age and geroscience related art. These will be shared with other committees and be part of a trainee chapter gallery of images that trainees can use in scientific presentations. The arts and promotional materials committee will also create and update brochures and informational materials that can be used for AGE marketing and outreach.
Grants, opportunities, and meetings committee Description: The grants, opportunities, and meetings committee will compile information for AGE trainees about new grants, courses, workshops, and meetings with aging and geroscience focuses.
Diversity, equity, inclusion, and outreach committee Description: The diversity, equity, inclusion, and outreach committee will develop best practices for our society regarding how to be maximally inclusive of all and promotes social awareness of issues related to systematic biases. The committee also develops outreach initiatives that seek to grow and broaden understanding of aging and geroscience research, while growing and diversifying the AGE trainee chapter.
