5) The Association last surveyed our membership in 2014– as we approach the midway point of 2024 we hope you will take a few moments to provide feedback on a number of items related to the business of the Association. The purpose of this survey is to help the ASR Council ensure we are meeting the needs of members. In particular, we are eager for feedback about the modality and location of future meetings and for your thoughts on how ASR should continue to evolve as both our profession and the world we study continue to change. The results of the anonymous survey will be compiled by the Membership Committee and presented as one of the annual committee reports shared at the Annual Meeting. Results will then be used by the ASR Council to help shape future events and initiatives. Special thanks to Jim Spickard for building the survey out on the website. The deadline to fill out the survey is June 30, 2024.
