[ESIP-all] Reminder: Register skills during Summer Meeting registration

[Raskin, Rob (388M)]

This is a reminder that you can register your skills in the new ESIP Skills Database at the time you register for the ESIP Summer Meeting. This searchable Skills Database will be useful for:

- Federation members wanting to find new collaborators;
- funded GEO Decision Support teams wanting to locate project "advisors" (who potentially could be compensated for their contributions);
- a future ESIP Skills Exchange Bank, where "points" are earned by providing skills/services to some member of the ESIP community, and spent to obtain services from another member.

Privacy options are available to hide contact information, if desired. 

As an incentive, if you register skills during early registration for the Summer Meeting, you will receive a $20 Starbucks gift card! The Meeting early registration fee is $375 for members through June 18; see:

If you are not attending the Summer Meeting, you can register your skills directly at: http://esipfed.org/expert
