SAR is growing rapidly—in membership and impact. We are expanding our year-round activities in education and research, and learning quickly as we adapt to the all the transitions in our world and profession. The SAR Board of Directors would like to engage as many of you as possible in these exciting changes, and to empower our incredible members to help shape the future of the society. Therefore, we are thrilled to announce the creation of 6 new SAR leadership positions!

The 6 SAR Portfolio Directors will each operationally supervise a thematically related set of activities and committees, and work closely in a triad with a single SAR Board member and Veritas staff member.

Key details:

• Portfolio directors will play a critical role in the new structure of the SAR, addressing member and Society needs, bringing forth new ideas and helping to expand the mission of the Society 
• A second major goal of the program is the development of SAR’s future leaders
• Ideal candidates will have experience as an SAR committee member or chair, possess excellent skills for communication and collaboration, and understand that this is a time commitment requiring daily or weekly attention and prompt availability
• The initial applications will be solicited this spring and terms will begin in July 2021.  In later years, terms will begin at the SAR spring meeting
• Interested SAR Fellows may self-nominate or nominate colleagues
• The application is simple: a CV and your letter of interest regarding the specific position
• Portfolio Directors will be invited to serve for a 3-year term, with the possibility of extension based on SAR and portfolio needs
• We are eager for your feedback and questions, and will solicit input on the SAR website, as well as in an upcoming webinar and the SAR business meeting in March
