[ASEEES] Newly Designed ASEEES Website; ASEEES President's NYT letter; 2014 Book Prizes

[Park, Lynda]

Dear Members:

We are delighted to launch a newly designed website for ASEEES -  http://www.aseees.org/

While the new website has much of the same content and more, it should be easier to navigate, once you get used to a different look and layout.  It also has some new features, such as:


*         ASEEES News - http://www.aseees.org/news-events/aseees-news-feed

*         ASEEES Member Spotlight - http://www.aseees.org/membership/spotlight

*         ASEEES Blog - http://www.aseees.org/news-events/aseees-blog-feed

*         SEEE Blogroll - http://www.aseees.org/resources/blogroll

The website is still work in progress.  We are still trying to add more to the functionality of the ASEEES Blog, more content under Resources, and more ways to promote and engage our members.

If you would like to contribute to the ASEEES Blog or recommend sites for the Blogroll, please contact me at lypark at pitt.edu<mailto:%20lypark at pitt.edu>  You can read more about it HERE<http://www.aseees.org/program/blog/announcing-aseees-blog>.

ADVOCACY:
ASEEES President Stephen Hanson and ASEEES member Henry Hale penned a letter to the NY Times about the need for more regional experts as a response to a NYT article on the decrease in Russia experts.  Read the letter HERE<http://www.aseees.org/advocacy/aseees-president-hansons-nyt-letter-regarding-need-regional-experts>.

2014 BOOK PRIZES:
We are accepting nominations for the 2014 ASEEES Book Prizes.  Read more HERE<http://www.aseees.org/news-events/aseees-news-feed/accepting-nominations-2014-aseees-book-prizes>.

Please note that the ASEEES office is closed today (Fri, March 14) because the U of Pittsburgh is closed for spring break holiday.

Best,

Lynda
