Position Descriptions

TG Chair: The TG chair has overall responsibility to ensure that the group meets its minimum requirements. The chair works with the HFES executive director in scheduling the TG's annual business meeting and arranging other events; with the newsletter editor regarding timing, content, distribution method, and cost of newsletters; and with other officers to ensure that TG activities are being carried out. The chair also represents the TG as a member of the Council of Technical Groups.

Program Chair Elect: Understudy and assistant to the 2012 program chair (Greg Fitch). The Program Chair Elect becomes the Program Chair for the following annual conference (2013 in San Diego). The Program Chair is responsible for overseeing the technical review of proposals submitted for the HFES Annual Meeting.

Webmaster: Responsible for maintaining the STTG website.

Newsletter Editor: The newsletter editor is responsible for producing at least two newsletters per year and distributing them to TG members. The newsletter is the vital link between a TG's officers and its members, and its quality and frequency are often associated with members' level of satisfaction with their TG affiliation. TGs that do not produce newsletters are subject to disaffiliation from HFES.
