As this is my first official “Notes from the Chair” segment, I want to say thank you again for your confidence in me to run the division for the next few years. It is a great honor. Speaking of elections, we are currently underway with an election for CJDD Associate Chair and Chair-Elect. Please take a moment to vote for the candidate you feel is most qualified for these positions. Their resumes are available via the on-line voting ballot. In other news, the CJDD leadership team would also like to encourage you to become a meeting mentor. Last year was my first year as a meeting mentor and I met three wonderful graduate students at various stages in their academic careers. Given it was not so long ago that I was in their shoes, it felt extremely gratifying to be able to help them navigate their next steps, answer their inquisitive questions, and encourage them to become more involved in the SSSP (a great place for graduate students!). If you are interested in becoming a meeting mentor, especially for other members in the CJDD division, please e-mail Joel Best (joelbest@udel.edu) who is coordinating this effort for 2017’s conference in Montreal, Quebec Canada. On a final note, the clock is ticking for annual meeting paper submissions (deadline: January 31, 2017 by midnight EST, USA). Please do make sure to submit your stellar research for consideration for the Society for the Study of Social Problems 67th Annual Meeting: Narratives in the World of Social Problems: Power, Resistance, Transformation.

Reiss, Jr. Distinguished Scholar Award The American Sociological Association’s section on Crime, Law, and Deviance invites nominations for its 2017 ALBERT J. REISS, JR., DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR AWARD.  Given in recognition of the contributions to criminological understanding made by Albert J. Reiss, Jr., the award is presented every other year to the author(s) of a book or a series of articles published in the last five years and constituting a major contribution to the study of crime, law, and deviance. If suitable awardees of either type cannot be found, the Committee has discretion to give the award to an individual for a lifetime of outstanding scholarship. Nominations must be specific, indicating clearly both the nominee and the book or body of work.  If a body of work is nominated, the nomination letter must include a specific list of the work(s) to be reviewed (i.e., a reading list). If a book is nominated, the nominator must send or arrange to have the publisher send five copies of the book to the Committee chairperson. In either case, the nomination letter should state why the work merits recognition. The Committee will review only the work that is nominated. Self-nominations are permitted. Please send nominations and requests for information to the Committee Chair, Claire Renzetti, claire.renzetti@uky.edu, Department of Sociology, University of Kentucky, 1501 Patterson Office Tower, Lexington, KY 40507.  Deadline for receipt of nominations is February 1, 2017. --------------5------------------------- Call for Applications for the next Social Problems Editor: The application deadline for the next Editor of Social Problems has been extended to February 3, 2017.     The Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP) is soliciting applications for the position of Editor of the Society’s flagship journal, Social Problems.  The three-year term will begin with the operation of the new editorial office in mid-year 2018.  The new editor will be responsible for editing and promoting Volumes 66-68 (years 2019-2021).  We seek a diverse pool of editorial candidates.  Applicants must be members or become members of the SSSP by the time of their application and continue to be a member during their tenure as editor.   Candidates must have distinguished scholarly records, previous editorial experience, strong organizational and management skills, and the ability to work and communicate well with others, including with scholars in academic and non-academic settings.  For a full description of the position and application process, please visit: (http://www.sssp1.org/file/2017/Call_for_Social_Problems_Editor_Revised-Extended_Deadline.pdf).    Please direct all inquiries, nominations, expressions of interest, and application materials to Dr. Corey Dolgon at cdolgon@stonehill.edu. http://www.sssp1.org/file/announcements/Social_Problems_Editor.pdf Newsletter Contributions Invited We encourage members to submit news such as publications, new appointments, and other professional accomplishments for inclusion in a future newsletter. Suggestions and inquiries about less conventional content are also welcome—consider editorials, book reviews, teaching notes, department/program profiles, calls for contributions to journals and edited books, obituaries… Please direct such inquires to the current Division Chair, Kristen Budd at buddkm@MiamiOH.edu or current Newsletter Editor, Kelley Sittner at kelley.sittner@okstate.edu. --------------6------------------------- Be A Meeting Mentor! Each year, SSSP has lots of students and new members sign up for its meeting mentoring program. But the only way people can offer to be mentors is when they register for the meeting, and it’s easy for folks to forget to do that, so there aren’t enough volunteers. Because there aren’t enough mentors, it is hard to match the interests of willing mentors with people who want mentoring. I’m chairing the Lee Student Support Fund Committee (the group in charge of the mentoring program). I want to locate willing mentors from all of SSSP divisions. If you are planning to attend next year’s meeting in Montreal, and if you’d be willing to serve as a mentor, please send me an email message (joelbest@udel.edu). In your message, list the divisions that interest you. I’ll save your information and, next summer, I’ll try and identify (hopefully no more than one or two) mentees who share your interests. I’ve been a mentor every year since the program started, and I continue to keep in touch with some of those people. It is a great program, but we need your help to make it stronger. Thanks, Joel Best (joelbest@udel.edu)
