2025 MEMBERSHIP AND OUTREACH COMMITTEE
The Committee on Membership and Outreach takes responsibility for discussing matters regarding ÂÌñÒùÆÞ 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 ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s international members, and resources that members might like ÂÌñÒùÆÞ to provide. The committee also oversees ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s outreach efforts. These include, preeminently, the Friends of ÂÌñÒùÆÞ program (a program for individuals who share ÂÌñÒùÆÞ 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 ÂÌñÒùÆÞ staff about the presentation and content of several of ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s digital platforms, including the ÂÌñÒùÆÞ Facebook page, the ÂÌñÒùÆÞ Twitter account, ÂÌñÒùÆÞTv, and ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s weekly bi-monthly e-newsletter News@ÂÌñÒùÆÞ.Ìý
