Membership Committee
Mission
The Membership Committee, working in cooperation with SAA Council, the
SAA Executive Director, and staff, is responsible for increasing the number
of individual
and
institutional members and ensuring the retention of these members through
the offering of services that meet their needs. The Membership Committee
consists of nine appointed members plus the chair. Appointments are for a
three-year term and are made on a staggered basis with one-third of the positions
filled each year. The chair's appointment is for one year. The composition
of the Committee is intended to reflect as broadly as possible those constituencies
that are well-represented in the Society's membership as well as those that
are underrepresented.
Responsibilities
The Membership Committee is responsible for the following:
- Recommending to the SAA Council and Executive Office means for increasing
SAA's membership base, especially among minorities including, but not limited
to African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asian/Pacific-Americans.
- Recommending to the SAA Executive Office and other SAA committees and
related associations the means for making prospective and current members
aware of the resources, services, and membership benefits of SAA.
- Recommending ways to acknowledge new members and encourage participation
in SAA activities.
- Identifying members' and nonmembers' needs and perceptions,
analyzing them, and making recommendations to the SAA Office.
For more information about the SAA Membership Committee, see the full
description in the Council Handbook and/or the SAA
Leader List.
