As chair of the
IGA WGC Steering Committee I appreciate your
consideration of this request and I hope that
you will not only be able to make a generous
contribution, but will also be a major
participant in the various technical cultural
and social events afforded by WGC 2010
participation.
Please feel free to contact
myself or
Jim Lawless,
Finance Committee Chair, with any questions.

The
2010 World Geothermal Congress (WGC) is now just over six months away. This
unique event brings the international geothermal community
together once every 5 years to share scientific and
technical information, new technology and industry trends,
success stories and market opportunities for future
developments. The 2010 WGC is being hosted by the Indonesian
Geothermal Association (INAGA) and will convene on the 25th
to 30th of April 2010 in beautiful Bali with its
unparalleled geothermal resources, rich cultural heritage,
and lush vegetation and not to be over looked fabulous
beaches.
Our Indonesians hosts are hard at work making arrangements
to provide the expected 2000+ participants with the
opportunity to visit numerous geothermal fields and cultural
sites; organizing a trade show with technical exhibits
highlighting the products and services of commercial
companies involved in geothermal development; reserving
hotels and planning various cultural and social events. But
it is the International Geothermal Association (IGA) that is
responsible for assuring that the event provides the best
possible technical program and is available to the widest
possible audience through providing Fellowship for
participants.
Over 1000 papers have already been submitted for oral and
poster presentation and 5 technical short courses are
planned.
Now that many of the aspects of the technical program are
well underway, a major role for the IGA is to solicit funds
to support the Technical Program and to provide as many
fellowships for geothermalists from developing countries as
possible. Recipients of fellowships must have submitted a
technical paper for oral or poster presentation which has
been accepted by the technical committee, have solicited
funds from their own organization and are, in the opinion of
the fellowship committee, worthy of support.

> How To Donate
Donations to the IGA for fellowships or other aspects of
the technical program for which the IGA is responsible maybe be designated
by the donor for a particular use e.g. fellowships to attend short courses,
fellowships to attend the congress and participate in all technical aspects
of the Congress or may be for general support of the overall Technical
Program. Funds donated to the IGA will only be used to support these
elements of the Technical Program. They are outside the general Congress
budget, which is the responsibility of INAGA, who may be separately
approaching you to offer exhibition space and sponsorship opportunities.
We hope that you are in a position to make a financial commitment to the
IGA WGC 2010 Technical Program and support this very worthy cause. Any and
all donations will be fully recognized in Congress literature including the
final program, the Congress proceeding etc.
The level of contribution is up to you and all inputs will be greatly
received. However, to put the amounts into context, approximately US$1000-2500
per participants will be needed for fellowships.
In as much as we must begin the process of selecting fellows in late 2009 we
would appreciate your commitment to provide funds as early as possible
although, the money would not need to be transferred to the IGA WGC Steering
Committee until the end of 2009 or early 2010.
