**Apologies for crossposting** Dear Colleagues, Following a 4 year rotation, the RGS-IBG's Urban Geography Research Group (UGRG) is looking to fill the following two positions on its committee: Secretary Treasurer Elections to these posts will be held at the group's AGM at this year's RGS-IBG Conference in Edinburgh: at 19.30 on Wednesday 4th July (room to be allocated soon). The UGRG is an active and inclusive research group, committed to the support and promotion of urban geography as an intellectual field and sub-discipline. We are committed to developing constructive dialogue between different analytical, theoretical and methodological traditions of urban geography and urban studies, and to increasing the profile of female and early career urban geographers. You can find out more about what we do by browsing our website: http://urban-geography.org.uk/ Involvement on the committee provides an excellent opportunity to extend your networks in the sub-discipline, and is widely recognized as a "marker of esteem" in academic circles. The current committee has a strong mix of post-graduate students, early career and established researchers, and committee posts are usually held for a period of 3-4 years. The RGS requires that nominations for named posts should be in writing and include the names of the proposer and seconder. Nominations can be accepted up to (and at) the beginning of the AGM. If you would like to discuss these posts and what they involve, please do get in touch with me. In the meantime, I hope these positions are of interest and look forward to seeing you at our AGM.
