This workshop is part of SGAC's Space Mentoring Program and will be open to existing SGAC mentees and selected registrants of the wider public. The objective is to inspire students and young professionals about the space sector, enhance the visibility of role models in the field, and increase mentorship opportunities for the next generation of youth from the Americas.

In the NCAC Policy & Advocacy Webinar Series, we discuss policy topics relevant to the NCAC region with an international lens. For this webinar, we will discuss the impacts of the space industry on Earth’s climate and pathways to “net zero” emissions and environmentally friendly practices.

The SGAC Space Education & Professional Development team is inviting you, our SGAC volunteering team members, to our internal professional development event - the SpaceGen Leaders Forum (SGLF). Started in 2021 and recently revived, SGLF will now be an annual platform to commemorate and enhance the visibility of initiatives, instances of leadership, and efforts across all volunteers within SGAC. This edition of SGLF will be to showcase the work carried out in 2023, with a full-fledged version to be expected by the end of the year for 2024.

You may have heard there are thousands of commercial satellites in low-Earth orbit and many more vying to launch soon. These satellites all reflect sunlight to various degrees and are changing the game for all ground-based observers worldwide. Join Dr. Meredith Rawls, astronomy researcher at UW/Rubin Observatory and satellite mitigation leader at the IAU CPS (cps.iau.org), to learn what is happening, how astronomers are responding, and what you can do to help preserve and protect our skies.
