2020 MEMBERSHIP AND OUTREACH COMMITTEE
This is the 2020 Committee list. Please click here for the 2021 Committee list.
The Committee on Membership and Outreach takes responsibility for discussing matters regarding Âé¶¹Ö±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 Âé¶¹Ö±²¥â€™s international members, and resources that members might like Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ to provide. The committee also oversees Âé¶¹Ö±²¥â€™s outreach efforts. These include, preeminently, the Friends of Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ program (a program for individuals who share Âé¶¹Ö±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 Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ staff about the presentation and content of several of Âé¶¹Ö±²¥â€™s digital platforms, including the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Facebook page, the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Twitter account, the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ LinkedIn page, Âé¶¹Ö±²¥Tv, and Âé¶¹Ö±²¥â€™s weekly e-magazine News@Âé¶¹Ö±²¥.Ìý
