Working Group on the Future of the AHA
The Working Group on the Future of the AHA had been set up in 2006 to consider how the Association can represent the diversity of its members intellectual and practical needs as well as the needs of those historians who do not currently belong to the AHA. The group met several times to discuss the many suggestions and comments it received from members, including those brought up at the well-attended open forum held during the 121st annual meeting in Atlanta. At its meeting held in New York in October 2007, the group discussed the draft report which it then submitted to Council. At its January 2008 meeting, Council accepted the report. The report has been published on the AHA web site and in the April 2008 issue of Perspectives on History.
