Abstract

This document combines news announcements and the complete minutes of the Association for Communication Administration Executive Committee meeting held on March 6, 1985. The news portion outlines a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow the president to remain on the committee for one additional year. It also previews the forthcoming election for three committee positions and includes commentary on national concerns regarding teacher shortages and the growing emphasis on communication skills across professional fields. The minutes provide a detailed account of administrative actions, including planning for the thirteenth annual seminar, development of convention programs, budget approval, revision of recruitment materials, responses to national reports on evaluation, and extensive discussion of departmental data collection practices. Additional items document deliberations on interorganizational affiliations, evaluation of creative work, publication permissions, and long term planning for regional meetings and committee initiatives. The record reflects broad organizational attention to accountability, evaluation, disciplinary data, and administrative cooperation across related associations during the mid nineteen eighties.
