Over the past few years, the AACRAO membership has called on the organization to look differently at what we consider educational and professional development content. Our current operational structure provides a solid foundation for the delivery of content to support the annual meeting, however, there is increasing demand for the delivery of content in other mediums.
The Board of Directors (after consultation with the AACRAO Leadership Meeting attendees in June) seek to review the role and work of the Professional Activities Committees (PACs) to formally include other avenues of content delivery from the committees. Where in the past, the PACs were charged with seeking out individuals who would bring content to the Annual Meeting, we now want them to create and curate content from multiple sources and render them in multiple mediums throughout the year, as well as to seek out content and expertise from other organizations. The Board of Directors recognizes that the broadening of the scope may require dedication of resources to implement and sustain the efforts. We ask the Structural Review team to review current processes and practices, recommend new ones that will include new content and avenues of delivery and to identify any additional roles and/or resources required to implement the recommendations.
This group has an aggressive timeline, with a draft report due for review by the AACRAO Board by January 2019.
