M. Geil to be Director of Meeting Activities for MRS Merry N. Geil has joined the MRS headquarters staff to serve in the newly created position of Director of Meeting Activities. Approved by the MRS Council in December 1988, the position responds to the need to consolidate the coordination, logistics, and liaison of MRS meetings, which have continued to grow in size and complexity. Geil will provide the principal MRS headquarters support and liaison for meeting chairs, symposium organizers, and short course planners. She will coordinate the preparation and distribution of the call-for-papers brochures, preliminary programs, final program/ abstract book, and other meeting publications. Besides supervising on-site meeting operations, her responsibilities also en-
compass the coordination of all on-site meeting-related activities. She will coordinate the support provided by MRS headquarters and serve as the principal contact for support provided by meeting contractors for the equipment exhibit and job placement center. Formerly a meeting planner with The Complete Conference, Geil is well qualified for these responsibilities. A member of Meeting Planners International and the Sacramento Society of Association Executives, she received a BS in business from California State University and has held several supervisory and program development positions. She has been a member and chair for numerous community boards, councils, and committees.
