ASA Business Meeting

Session Submission Type: Meeting

Abstract

The ASA Business Meeting is an opportunity for members of the Association to discuss important issues facing the discipline and profession. Members are encouraged to attend this meeting convened by the ASA President Annette Lareau.

Summary reports on the Association and its key activities this year will be given by President Annette Lareau, Secretary Mary Romero, and Executive Officer Sally T. Hillsman. The meeting concludes with the traditional transfer of the gavel, marking the transition of duties from President Annette Lareau to incoming President Paula England.

This open forum is an opportunity for members to share their insights, reactions, and suggestions. Please consult the flyer in your convention tote bag for details on the Business Meeting agenda.

As noted in the May/June issue of Footnotes and the posting of meeting information on the ASA website, members seeking to present formal resolutions should be prepared to provide background materials on the issue to be discussed. Members who missed the July 2 submission deadline may bring their resolutions and supporting background documentation to the satelite ASA Office onsite at the Annual Meeting by 3:00 pm on Monday, August 18.

All meeting attendees are invited to join ASA officers, council members, and staff for continental breakfast and discussion at the ASA Business Meeting on Tuesday, August 19, 7:00-8:15am.
