The Topical Interest Groups (TIGs) subcommittee invites AALHE members to participate in a deep listening session with the attempt to establish the purpose and potential agenda for three major interest groups (Research, Leadership Formation, and Hot Topics/Emerging Trends) which have emerged from discussions on the ASSESS Listserv and the AALHE Member Survey.
Participants will have the opportunity to share what they want/need out of TIGs and will begin the work of defining the goals/purposes of TIGs in the three currently-established major branches. The Subcommittee will compile and analyze the feedback and report back to all participants and to the Events Committee.
The Events Committee of the AALHE has charged the Topical Interest Groups Subcommittee to identify areas of interest for TIGs; promote AALHE TIGs to members as a way to meaningfully connect with other assessment practitioners; to foster and collaborate with TIG leaders to develop plans for maximum participation by members; to assist with the development of AALHE TIG products; and to facilitate connections between TIG members/leaders to other assessment opportunities.
Through active participation in this deep listening session, AALHE members will have the opportunity to expand and engage with an ongoing community of practice within the organization and profession.
