AMS Department Chairs Workshop

This annual one-day workshop for chairs and leaders of departments of mathematical sciences will be held a day before the start of the Joint Meetings on Tuesday, January 3, 8:00 a.m. - 6:30 p.m., Commonwealth, 3rd Floor, Sheraton. The workshop format is intended to stimulate discussion among attending chairs and workshop leaders. Sharing ideas and experiences with peers provides a form of department chair therapy, creating an environment that enables attending chairs to address departmental matters from new perspectives.

Workshop leaders are:

Timothy Hodges, University of Cincinnati
John Meakin, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Helen Roberts, Montclair State University
Alex Smith, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire

Past workshop sessions have focused on a range of issues facing departments today, including personnel issues (staff and faculty), long-range planning, hiring, promotion and tenure, budget management, assessments, outreach, stewardship, junior faculty development, communication, and departmental leadership.

There is a separate registration fee to participate. For further information please contact the AMS Washington Office at 202-588-1100 or amsdc@ams.org.
