</w:Sdt>four of the current <w:Sdt SdtTag="goog_rdk_3" id="496466010">EC</w:Sdt> members are stepping down to allow for new membership. We are currently seeking four members from the Heliophysics community with a solid understanding of the scientific basis
of Heliophysics system science. Highly qualified candidates from all career stages, including early career, will be considered. Membership in the LPAG
<w:Sdt SdtTag="goog_rdk_5" id="1886218225">EC </w:Sdt>is nominally three years. The LPAG

<w:Sdt SdtTag="goog_rdk_8" id="1862013615">EC</w:Sdt>. In addition, members may participate in community engagement at various scientific meetings during the year either through soliciting input from the wider community or presenting status of LPAG activities.
