Congratulations to the new officers, and thanks to all the candidates who generously agreed to stand for office. Each seminar will include a presentation on environmental anthropology and case study presentations by three or four locally based anthropologists who work on environmental problems in university and applied settings. Seminar goals include broader awareness of the role of anthropology in environmental planning and problem solving processes, enhancing connections between the academic and applied environmental anthropology community, and providing EPA and local environmental practitioner access to the anthropologists living in their community. Projects are designed by EPA scientists and managers, based on EPA's environmental and health protection priorities. In 1999 the program will also encourage projects related to the human dimension of environmental protection.
