The ASAE PPAM4 Editorial Advisory Group is a content review team. The advisory group will review and process chapters submitted from contributing authors and provide input on what content is missing from the submitted chapter or controversial content that needs to be revised before publication. Input will be provided using track changes. This function is not an editing function, but rather a content overview function.
Advisory Group Charge:
The editorial advisory group advises the Editors on author selection to achieve an optimal range of diversity of authorship. The editorial advisory group also advises the Executive Managing Editor and contributing authors of the PPAM 4th edition by providing a review of content submitted by authors through their lens of experience and perspective to inform the chapter’s author of recommended content revisions and desirable inclusion of content.
Editorial Advisory Group Vision:
The PPAM 4th edition will represent an inclusive view of association management leadership in all areas of the association management functions, in alignment with ASAE’s CAE content outline.
