US federal government shutdown and Great Lakes research

Jan 21, 2019

As the partial U.S. federal government shutdown enters its fifth week, the association is aware that many of its members are being personally and professionally affected by the inability to work and get paid. Although it is unclear when the shutdown will end, IAGLR would like to know if you’ve been affected and what support the association can offer.  Please reach out to us at office@iaglr.org and let us know how we can help.

Right now, the association is pulling together a travel fund that could reimburse IAGLR members, particularly those affected, for future travel that helps the association fulfill its mission to increase understanding of large lakes of the world and plan future activities. 

Stay tuned for more information on this program to support furloughed workers, but feel free to email office@iaglr.org to get updated as we roll out this short-term program.  This fund is separate from the IAGLR conference travel reimbursement program.

Let’s Keep ‘em Great!
