Charges:

Design, and run the 2006 ATA doctoral consortium.

2

3

Establish a policy of contacting consortium attendees 6 months and one year after their attendance to inquire about their program progress and remind them of the benefits of continuing their affiliation with the ATA.

Think generally how the activities of this committee would be of interest to an audience beyond just ATA members and how your committee through the ATA website or other facility can make that activity known both to the members and broader audience.  This audience might include firms, College Deans and Department Heads, especially those who do not have participating students.
