Explorers
Club HQ
|
The
Explorers Club is an international multidisciplinary
professional society dedicated to the advancement
of field research and the ideal that it is vital
to preserve the instinct to explore. Since its
inception in 1904, the Club has served as a meeting
point and unifying force for explorers and scientists
worldwide.
The
Club provides assistance in expedition planning,
awards fieldwork grants to scientists, writers, and
photographers, and at our famed annual dinners, honors
accomplishments in exploration. But probably the
most powerful resource available to those who join
the Club is fellowship with other members--a global
network of expertise, experience, technology, industry,
and support. The Explorers Club actively encourages
public interest in exploration and the sciences through
its public lectures program, publications, travel
program, and other events. The Club also maintains
Research Collections, including a library and map
room, to preserve the history of the Club and to
assist those interested and engaged in exploration
and scientific research. |

The Explorers’ Club Annual Dinner (ECAD) is one of the more memorable events that you are likely to experience and I am sure that this year’s event will be most stunning. If you have never attended an ECAD, you should consider making it a priority. We are again intent on organizing a Canadian Table. We also are open to dinner or drinks out of Friday evening. If you wish to join a Canadian Table at ECAD, contact Barry or Amanda Glickman (Barry or Amanda at paparumba.org).
This year it will be the 106th ECAD and its focus will be “On the Cusp of Infinity: Exploring the Universes out there”. For more information visit www.explorers.org. Note that seating is limited. |
