2026 MEMBERSHIP AND OUTREACH COMMITTEE
The Committee on Membership and Outreach takes responsibility for discussing matters regarding Â鶹ֱ²¥ institutional and individual memberships, including (but not limited to) strategies for membership growth, appropriate membership benefits, the most fitting way to categorize individual memberships (student, recent graduate, etc.), greater enfranchisement of Â鶹ֱ²¥â€™s international members, and resources that members might like Â鶹ֱ²¥ to provide. The committee also oversees Â鶹ֱ²¥â€™s outreach efforts. These include, preeminently, the Friends of Â鶹ֱ²¥ program (a program for individuals who share Â鶹ֱ²¥ members’ interest in the archaeology and history of the Near East and wider Mediterranean but who are not themselves members). In addition, it advises the Â鶹ֱ²¥ staff about the presentation and content of several of Â鶹ֱ²¥â€™s digital platforms, including the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Facebook page, the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Twitter account, Â鶹ֱ²¥Tv, and Â鶹ֱ²¥â€™s weekly bi-monthly e-newsletter News@Â鶹ֱ²¥.Ìý
