How can members become involved in the governance of SCMS?
Members elected to the Board of Directors and volunteers selected for the “Standing” and “Annual” Committees conduct daily SCMS business and planning, assisted by the SCMS staff. “Caucuses” and “Scholarly Interest Groups” also play vital roles in sustaining and developing the organization. Members are encouraged to volunteer for service on the “Standing” and “Annual” Committees, and to participate as interested in the “Caucuses” and “Scholarly Interest Groups.” SCMS has by-laws to facilitate the governance and administration of the organization. The Society has also developed policies related to our professional practices, including teaching, publishing, and the reproduction of visual and aural materials.
