Dear Colleagues,

This year’s SAN business meeting is Saturday, August 22, 2015 6:30 to 8:15p=
m at ASA. Given the less than ideal time that ASA always gives us, we will =
start at 6:30 sharp and finish the meeting by 7:30.

1. I am pleased to announce the winners of this year’s SAN Awards which=
we will recognize at the business meeting. Congratulations!!!

a. SAN Career Award – Prof. Barry Adams
http://www1.uwindsor.ca/sociology/barry-adam

b. SAN Scholarly Activity Award – Suzan Walters, Doctoral Student, Ston=
y Brook NY, Sociology

c. SAN Martin Levine Paper Competition Award – Gowri Vijayakumar, Doct=
oral Student, Berkley, Sociology

So far I have confirmed that both Barry and Suzan will attend the start of =
the SAN meeting so be sure to stop by to congratulate them in person! The a=
wards will be the FIRST item on the agenda as I know this time conflicts wi=
th other meetings/receptions!

2. Officer Transitions

a. A huge thanks and congratulations to Valerio Bacak. Thanks for the =
several years served as our SAN Newsletter editor and for doing such an ama=
zing job! Valerio is stepping down as he has finished his doctoral degree a=
nd has accepted an assistant professor position at the Rutgers School of Cr=
iminal Justice. Congratulations!

b. A huge thanks to Neal Carnes for severing as treasurer/listserv mana=
ger for these past few years. Neal is getting ready to start his dissertati=
on research so is focusing his time more on that very demanding project!

c. Carrie will be stepping down as SAN Chair this year due to competin=
g demands. She will take over the treasurer and listserv manager position f=
rom Neal and maintain the website [yes, it’s been dated for a while now as =
it has not been maintained since Alton stepped down three years ago; I star=
ted to simplify it as it’s not used much anyway; I really think it is our l=
istserv and awards that are the most useful aspect of our network these day=
s so we should prioritize maintaining those].

3. SAN positions that need to be filled

a. SAN Chair – I am more than happy to help during the first year of t=
ransition. It is not hard work but does involve commitment and taking an ac=
tive role and time. At a minimum, it involves arranging once a year meeting=
s at ASA [which I think should be reduced to every other year or even bette=
r, transition to online meetings as we can arrange better times in the onli=
ne world; ASA provides free space but awful times], organizing committees f=
or awards and advertising award opportunities in the spring of each year; a=
ssisting the other officers in their roles; announcing winners of awards to=
ASA footnotes, etc. The Chair role can also do more if he/she wants, such =
as try to arrange special sessions at conferences, or even arrange special =
meetings with local folks or mini conferences. It is a volunteer position s=
o there is no need to go beyond the basic minimum requirements but if the C=
hair wants to, one can. There is a small budget available. I have been ope=
rating at minimum capacity in the Chair role since being in the position as=
it has been really hard to keep up with even minimal duties for me. Also k=
now that it is a great service addition to your CV, especially for assistan=
t Profs.

i. If interested in the SAN C=
hair Position, please let me know ASAP; again, I can help with transitions =
and we have some previous Chairs who are still a part of the network who wo=
uld share advice if needed.

b. SAN Newsletter editor. Only published once a year [though due to tra=
nsitions, no letter was possible this year]. This is quite a bit of work w=
ith all the images we included, etc. and I know that folks liked it. But th=
at said, maybe it’s time to STOP the newsletter and just have e-news text a=
nnouncements every once in a while via email that the SAN Chair or an E-new=
sletter editor can circulate. Similar to such sent by sections of ASA with =
updates every once in a while. The Chair could do this or we could have an =
officer role.

i. If anyone is interested in=
this kind of role, let me know.

4. SAN DUES: PAY UP! SAN yearly dues are indeed due and some members ha=
ve not paid in years [we have about 130 members but just over half are full=
y current with their dues]. With this many officer transitions we will als=
o likely update our network. So if you are not current for the past few yea=
rs, we may remove you if we do not receive your dues by the end of August. =
Our dues are extremely affordable and help fund our student competitions, =
maintaining yearly fees for the website, and other network related costs, a=
s well as allow for periodic expenses that may come up [e.g., like when Cha=
ir Tasi put on a mini conference]. So please PAY up or let me know that you=
would like to opt out of your SAN membership. http://www.socaids.org/membe=
rship/

Ok, that’s all. My sincere apologies for this late information. I should h=
ave made these announcements earlier. Hope to see you at the SAN Business M=
eeting. Again, I promise to keep the meeting short as I know it’s a really =
bad time. Try to get there a few minutes earlier if you can 🙂

Best, CF
