2026 CHAIRS COORDINATING COUNCIL (CCC)

The Chairs Coordinating Council takes responsibility for (a) monitoring the activities of ASOR’s eight other standing committees, by receiving monthly reports about the committees’ discussions and business; (b) discussing and coordinating programs and policies that cut across the purview of two or more of the CCC’s constituent committees (e.g., policies regarding ethical issues or professional standards) and also adjudicating, if need be, between competing claims regarding jurisdiction or resource allocation among the CCC’s constituent committees; (c) annually receiving, from the Program Committee, recommendations regarding the plenary speaker for the ASOR Annual Meeting and then recommending to the ASOR President the name of an individual to invite; and (d) transmitting, through its chair (the ASOR Vice-President) reports regarding the work of the CCC, and its constituent committees, to the Board of Trustees, at the Board’s biannual meetings. Chairs of committees are expected to attend, in person, the CCC meeting
at the Annual Meeting or designate a committee to serve as interim
chair.
