2022 MEMBERSHIP AND OUTREACH COMMITTEE

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 the ASOR Facebook page, the ASOR Twitter account, ASORTv, and ASOR’s weekly bi-monthly e-newsletter News@ASOR.
