Message from the Executive Director -
Thank You for Participating
|
The AEA Working Group that developed and implemented the AEA Member Survey has completed the first phase of its work. Phase II, analyzing the data and writing a comprehensive report, now begins, with an anticipated release date of December 2015. The group began its work in September 2014 to develop a survey instrument that would gather input from members on AEA programs and begin to set benchmarks on progress toward the AEA Ends Goals.
The survey was distributed to the AEA membership on April 15 and remained open for three weeks (closing May 6), with reminder emails sent out weekly. With 25 percent of the membership responding (1,713 members), the survey attracted input from a demographic that appears to match the overall demographic of AEA membership in general.

|
From Sheila B. Robinson, Potent Presentations Initiative Coordinator
Greetings, Potent Presenters! Many of us are playing the waiting game right now, wondering if that conference proposal acceptance notice will appear in our inboxes soon. As we dream of giving that standing-room-only presentation that leaves us thinking These people are definitely going to seek me out for a keynote next year, it's a good time to begin planning the message of your potentially career-altering presentation. Sure, great slide design and good audience engagement strategies will take you part of the way, but you can't go the distance without a solid message.

Important Notice: Dues Are Increasing
|
Like other associations, AEA must periodically review its operating costs. As a result, the AEA Board of Directors has instituted a $4 annual dues increase for Full Standard and Electronic Membership for fiscal year 2016. It will take effect July 16, 2015. If your membership is not due for renewal in July, you may still take advantage of the savings (if you act by July 15) and renew for an additional 12 months.
The increase is needed to keep up with inflation and cost of living increases and to continue to enhance the exclusive benefits offered to you as an AEA member. No changes will be made to the Full Time Student or the Canadian Evaluation Society Members. Click here to find out more about the increase and how to renew.
Between now and July 15, 2015, you can renew your membership at the current rates. Simply renew online or by making a payment on any open membership invoice that you have received. Please contact Zachary Grays in the AEA office at 1-202-367-1166 if you have any questions.
