AEJMC/ASJMC Human Resource Committee

About the Committee

The AEJMC Board of Directors instituted on Nov. 20, 2020, a permanent human resources committee to fulfill our commitment to sustain a workplace that thrives on talent, leadership, innovation, collaboration, belonging, and professionalism.

Chaired by the AEJMC vice-president, the HR committee will advance AEJMC’s commitment to a fulfilling and engaging employment experience for AEJMC/ASJMC’s Office Staff.

The subcommittee will be charged with the following:

• Conduct annual surveys of office staff members to assess and support the overall functioning and optimal operation of the association and the AEJMC Central Office
• Coordinate and conduct annual performance reviews of the executive director
• Recommend to the AEJMC Board any steps necessary, to address the overall functioning and optimal operation of the AEJMC Central Office. Examine long- term issues related to human resources, for example, addressing and assessing the adequacy of employee benefits for staff members.

The AEJMC Central Office staff also serves and supports the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication (ASJMC). To that end, the AEJMC HR Subcommittee may seek inputs from the ASJMC president and the ASJMC Executive Committee in accomplishing our shared mission of promoting excellence in journalism and mass communication education.
