[ASEEES] ASEEES Special Meeting of the Board, May 11, and Solicitation of Member Comments

[Park, Lynda]

Dear ASEEES Members:



As a response to the member sign-on letter of Feb 5, 2015 (http://www.aseees.org/news-events/aseees-news-feed/cosigners-response-detailed-clarification ) regarding the Stephen F. Cohen-Robert C. Tucker Fellowship matter and in accordance with the ASEEES Bylaws, the ASEEES Board has decided to hold a special meeting of the Board on Monday, May 11 in Pittsburgh (in conjunction with the regular semi-annual meeting of the Executive Committee) in order to discuss the issues raised in the letter.



We are now announcing the special meeting of the Board to the general ASEEES membership and soliciting member comments.  Although we cannot anticipate the outcome of the Board meeting regarding the Cohen-Tucker fellowship proposal, we plan to release a public statement by the Board that addresses the issues of general concern to the membership.  Members are welcome to communicate their views to the Board using this online form:



https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/222HNTB


Submissions should be brief, civil, and address relevant issues, indicating whether the comment can be made public on the ASEEES website or should be held confidential.  The online submission form will close on Friday, April 24.



Please refrain from lobbying members of the Board individually, as we will not be able to take representations of this kind into account.



The ASEEES Executive Committee's clarification statement of Feb. 3 can be found at: http://www.aseees.org/news-events/aseees-news-feed/aseees-detailed-clarification-regarding-cohen-tucker-fellowship

If you have questions or concerns about the special meeting or the comment process, please feel free to contact me directly.

Regards,

Lynda Park, Executive Director
