5.3: Website

Our website will be made more feature rich and become an increasingly important hub for providing member services and networking activities.

Other Information:

To improve our website, we propose the following initiatives: Enhance the user friendliness of the website with a broader range of services. (e.g., consider establishing MyAcademy.Com that serves multiple purposes for members and allows for greater customization; create method to volunteer for various Academy activities; establish linkages to affiliated professional associations and divisions; list job openings; establish feedback mechanism such as "Ask the Division Chair or the AoM President;" provide orientation for new members; publicize RFPs and other research funding opportunities; establish hyperlinks to data resources and non-Academy publications, etc.) Explore peer-to-peer or other networking opportunities that the web could provide for members (e.g., self-organizing affinity groups; designate keywords to identify members with similar interests; form discussion boards; etc.) Create a web-based Academy knowledge base (e.g., share data bases and research instruments; provide synopsis of findings on different subjects; establish commonly used theoretical definitions, etc.)
