The Membership and Outreach Committee seeks nominations (including self-nominations) from ASOR 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 ASOR Annual Meeting each year. Nominees must fill out by November 1, 2024.

The Committee on Membership and Outreach takes responsibility for discussing matters regarding ASOR 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 ASOR’s international members, and resources that members might like ASOR to provide. The committee also oversees ASOR’s outreach efforts. These include, preeminently, the Friends of ASOR program (a program for individuals who share ASOR 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 ASOR staff about the presentation and content of several of ASOR’s digital platforms, including ASOR social media, the ASOR LinkedIn page, ASORTv, and ASOR’s e-magazine News@ASOR.

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).
