Initiatives Committee

The Initiatives Committee is responsible for fostering and developing new initiatives for the Society. This committee is meant to support the development of new initiatives, which can take many forms, including meetings, workshops, educational tools, policy positions, or whole areas of intellectual development (e.g., the AIRR Community). It will:

  • Invite Society Members to suggest initiatives, perhaps via survey or other mechanism
  • Prioritize initiatives that support the Mission, Vision, Values and Strategic Plans of the Society
  • Identify one or more “Champions” for each initiative
  • Help to build a team to develop the initiative, including assistance from other Committees (e.g., Communications/Memberships, the AIRR Community, etc.)
  • Help develop a plan for the initiative, including a timeline and milestones, and identify any budgetary needs
  • Seek feedback and approval from the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors for the initiative (and its financial support if required)
  • Follow progress of each initiative throughout its “life cycle” and provide reporting to the Executive and Board
  • Once it has “matured” an initiative may be moved to a different Committee (e.g., the Meetings, Communications & Membership) or become a new Committee of the Society

Committee Chair: Greg Adams

Committee Members: Stephen Parmley, Andreas Plückthun, Jamie Scott
