Country Designates to SWS Asia Chapter
As Country Designates, you are responsible for recruitment and endorsement of membership to SWS Asia Chapter but not strictly because anyone is given the freedom to apply directly to the chapter. You are also expected to make a list of SWS Asia Chapter members under your jurisdiction. In addition, you need to summarize or expound on the general profile of wetlands in your country or the area which you represent. This will include particular important data, photos and if feasible, some legal problems will be cited. Our goal here is to make SWS Asia Chapter a more exciting organization to explore in the internet and at the same time to help seek funding opportunities. Additional related duties e.g. to collect membership fees, etc. may be kindly summoned as the need arises.
