You have been warned! I learned today that I have been selected to be the new Pacific Coast Regional Representative for the Student Advisory Group (SAG) for the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL). As I understand it, I now serve as a kind of imperator of the entire pacific coast, and all of its inhabitants serve at the mercy of my every whim.

Kidding aside, I am very enthusiastic about this opportunity. I look forward to serving as a member of SAG and interacting with student members of my region. According to the description of the position, I am “charged with providing professional development and networking opportunities at the regional level.” That is a challenging and important charge, particularly in this economy. I am honored by the trust the current SAG members have placed in me.

As it turns out, I see that bibliobloggers have at least one other Regional Rep in our midst with Michael Halcomb. See Michael’s post about it. Update: Brandon Wason is on board too! He will be the Regional Rep for the Southeastern region. Michael is the rep for the Eastern Great Lakes region. Talk about a Biblioblogger/SBL affiliation!
