This group will provide a venue for peers to discuss the unique role of the administrator in humanities centers and institutes – a role that demands a wide range of skills ranging from program development and coordination, public engagement and communications, fundraising, budget and financial management and, in some cases, academic program management and curriculum development. The group may also become a place for to discuss the dual lives of scholars/administrators, and the growing interest in administration and program management as an alternative career choice for humanities scholars.

The first meeting of the Associate Directors and Administrators Affinity Group will take place on Sunday, June 13, as a part of our 2010 Annual Meeting at Brown University. If you would like to attend this meeting, please indicate your intention when you complete the Annual Meeting registration form.
