Volunteer activities not only it make possible for
DEPS to serve the Directed Energy community, but they also provide
professional growth opportunities for the volunteer. Some DEPS volunteer
opportunities are listed below.
Meetings
Most DEPS volunteers work with our events. The breadth in technical scope of our meetings
provides opportunities to match the content of the event with the volunteer's technical
interests. Our events need volunteers to chair and organize technical sessions,
serve on program committees, and perform other services. To volunteer for an event,
contact the event chair who is listed on the event web page. You can access these pages
through the meetings page. If an upcoming meeting does not
have a web page mounted yet, contact the chair of the previous event.
Short Courses
Other volunteers have developed short courses that they present to the community,
usually in association with events. Most short courses are either overview introductions or
focused technical expositions in a specific area. Our short
course page lists our previous offerings. Donna Storment coordinates the
DEPS short course program. If you would like to investigate developing a DEPS
short course, email Donna or call her at
505 998-4910.
Board of Directors
All of the DEPS Directors are volunteers. They are elected by the membership, but good
candidates for the election slate are always in demand by the Nominations Committee,
chaired by Board Secretary Denny Boesen. Information about the Board is available through the
About DEPS page. Contact Denny
if you are interested.
Reviewer for the Journal of Directed Energy
The Journal of Directed Energy has a continuing need for volunteer experts to serve as reviewers of
manuscripts before publication. The requirements include expertise in some area of DE and a schedule that
permits timely responses to review requests. To volunteer, contact the Editors at the
Journal.
Other Opportunities
Other volunteer opportunities arise from time to time. If you want to be considered as
a volunteer for some of these occasional opportunities, please contact the
DEPS Executive Director Sam Blankenship and he can keep
your contact information at hand for the future.
