He was a member of the Research Grants Committee (also serving as its Chair), the Awards Committee, the Policy & Planning Committee and the Editorial Advisory Committee. In addition, he served on the Board of Governors from 1995 to 2000 and again from 2005 to 2010.
Chris Burn, Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies, Carleton University, has been involved with the Society for 20 years. He has served on the Research Grants Committee (also serving as its Chair), the Policy & Planning Committee and the Nominating Committee (also serving as its Chair). Chris was on the Board of Governors from 2001 to 2009. He served on the Executive as the Society’s Vice-President from 2005 to 2009.
