Following Assembly approval of a motion at the AMTA Assembly of Delegates meeting on 11/30/2020, a short-term work group is being formed to focus on clarifying and identifying gaps in our current policies regarding harassment, sexual harassment, assault, and harm within AMTA. The following motion was approved:

Motion: We move to create an Assembly short-term work group as detailed in the rationale to clarify and identify gaps in our current policies and procedures regarding harassment, sexual harassment, and assault within our association and recommend procedures to ensure implementation of consequences with an update at the Mid-Year Board meeting.

  • Service on regional committees addressing harassment or sexual harassment

Applications will be considered by a 9-member review panel including the 4 Assembly Representatives to the Board of Directors, Meredith Pizzi, Melita Belgrave (Chair of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee), a student member, and two members-at-large.

Nine members will be appointed to the Work Group no later than Friday, January 8, 2021. The Work Group will submit a list of identified gaps and questions to the Speaker of the Assembly and CEO by mid-February and an update for the Speaker to report at the Mid-Year Board Meeting with suggestions and any unanswered questions.
