The committee also develops guidelines regarding the conducting of the academic program of the ASOR Annual Meeting (e.g., the Annual Meeting appearance policy) and oversees the communications associated with the ASOR Annual Meeting (e.g., requests to session chairs for program copy, abstract copy, special media requests, as well as the production of the academic sections of the Annual Meeting Program Book).

2020 MEMBERSHIP AND OUTREACH COMMITTEE

This is the 2020 Committee list. Please click here for the 2021 Committee list.

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, the ASOR LinkedIn page, ASORTv, and ASOR’s weekly e-magazine News@ASOR.

2019 CULTURAL HERITAGE COMMITTEE

The Cultural Heritage Committee advises the President, the Executive Director, the Board, and other ASOR leaders regarding initiatives ASOR might undertake, either individually or jointly with other bodies in the field of cultural heritage, to help protect and preserve the cultural heritage of the Near East. Pre-eminently, the Cultural Heritage Committee advises the President, the Executive Director, the Board, and other ASOR leaders regarding the ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives program (ASOR CHI), regarding both current and prospective ASOR CHI projects. The Cultural Heritage Committee also advises the President, and ASOR’s leadership more generally, regarding ways ASOR might interact with bodies such as the AIA Cultural Heritage Policy Committee and the SAA International Government Affairs Committee in formulating proposed policy positions or responses to various cultural heritage issues that the ASOR, the AIA, the SAA, and the AAA may jointly wish to champion and by helping draft statements or suggesting ASOR’s participation in actions initiated by others that work to safeguard cultural heritage. This committee reserves one line of membership for an Early Career Scholar.
