Â鶹ֱ²¥

The Membership and Outreach Committee seeks nominations (including self-nominations) from Â鶹ֱ²¥ members who are interested in serving on the committee. Committee members will serve a three-year term (January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2027) with the option to renew for a second term. Committee members are expected to attend monthly meetings via Zoom and an in-person meeting at the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Annual Meeting each year. Nominees must fill out by November 1, 2024.

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 Â鶹ֱ²¥ social media, the Â鶹ֱ²¥ LinkedIn page, Â鶹ֱ²¥Tv, and Â鶹ֱ²¥â€™s e-magazine News@Â鶹ֱ²¥.

In order to receive full consideration by the committee, must be submitted by noon EST on November 1, 2024. For questions and concerns, please contact Regan Baker (membership@asor.org).
