Dear ACCS friends and colleagues, After many years of planning, thanks to the hard work by members of this year's ACCS Division Application Committee, including Drs. Joyce Chen, Patrick Dodge, Chiaoning Su, and Lin (Julie) Zhu (names following the alphabetic order), we are finally ready to move forward and submit a compelling division proposal by the August deadline. As an important part of the proposal, we need to collect signatures from at least 200 NCA members. Julie has graciously created an iPetition for us to collect online signatures. Please take a minute or two to sign your name and provide your email address (which will be used by the NCA Legislative Assembly to verify your NCA membership). Sign Here! www.ipetitions.com/petition/petition-for-chinese-communication-studies At this point, we only have about 100 active ACCS members. To make this important initiative happen, we need EVERYONE’s support. If each of us can ask a couple of friends or colleagues who are NCA members to sign, we can make it!! Having a division status will not only help to better integrate the study of Chinese communication into NCA and provide more slots for conference presentations, but it will also allow us to provide resources and support for division members (e.g., awards, reception, etc.) without soliciting membership dues. Your enthusiastic support will be greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you all, and have a wonderful summer! Meina Liu Dear ACCS members:
The Nomination Committee wants to thank all the nominees who put their names forward to serve ACCS. Your enthusiasm and willingness to serve make ACCS such a wonderful organization for all of us! So thank you. Thanks also goes to all the members who have participated in the voting process. Here are the results of the 2018 ACCS election: Vice President: Dr. Patrick Shaou-Whea Dodge Secretary: Dr. Yi Jasmine Wang Newsletter Editor: Yang Yu Please join me in congratulating the newly elected officers and extending our gratitude to all who have participated. Best regards, ACCS Nomination Committee (announcement from Dr. Bing Han) The April 2018 ACCS & CCA Brownbag Panel Transcript is available on our website!
