Hi Everyone,
At yesterday’s PAM Executive Board Advisory Council Meeting, two items were raised that the Board opted to table until our next Executive Board meeting in the September timeframe after conference. This email is your invitation to comment on the two items before the next meeting.
International Relations Committee
-This Committee has not been formed since the pandemic began. It is our hope that in 2023 the committee’s charge can resume.
-To that end the suggestion was made to reset the Committee’s term of appointment from the September 1 to August 31st current interval to a January 1 to December 31st interval.
Awards Committee
-The PAM Awards Committee is charged with administering the PAM awards including the Division and Achievement Awards.
-The suggestion was made to expand the Committee’s charge to include taking an active role in nominating members for SLA level awards.
-The Committee would also monitor eligibility periods for new members to make sure no deserving member misses the early career window for the Rising Star award.
-This effort would not preclude any individual actions to nominate members for SLA awards.
Please email me or any member of the board by September 1, 2022 to share any comments you have on these matters. You can also email the entire Board with the address, pam-board@listmgr.nrao.edu . The board members are listed below.
Sincerely,
Lance Utley
PAM Chair/President
