Annual Meeting Thank You!

We want to convey our extreme gratitude to all who helped make the 75^th Anniversary Annual Meeting a huge success. Compelling papers and sessions, strong mentor and mentee encounters, and captivating conversations are only a few of the things we remember with fondness from our time in Chicago.

There would be no annual meeting without all of you.

Make Plans to Attend the SSSP Business Meeting followed by the Town Hall: An Open Forum

All members should attend the SSSP Business Meeting from 10:30am-11:45am (Central Time) in the Crystal Room, 3rd floor for an update on the status and future of SSSP. Summary reports on the Society and its key activities this year will be given. In addition, up to thirty minutes will be allocated to a discussion in favor of or in opposition to all proposed resolutions. The meeting concludes with the traditional transfer of the gavel, marking the transition of duties from President Rose M. Brewer to incoming President Sarah Jane Brubaker.

Following the SSSP Business Meeting, make plans to attend the Town Hall. Our members are invited to voice their opinions and raise their concerns in an open discussion. We hope to engage in dialogue on the issues of member importance. Indeed, scholars are confronting attacks on academic freedom, right to protest, and scholarship centered on social justice. There are threats as well as possibilities. And, there is resistance. Please join us for an open dialogue to discuss these issues, Organizational values, the future of SSSP, fiscal realities, and other concerns. Panelists from SSSP leadership and membership will engage in discussion. Importantly, in this 75th year of the Organization’s founding what is the critical, member-led vision for the next 75 years?
