The July Executive Board meeting was busy and productive. Here are some important outcomes:

New Website Address Approved

When GSOLE was first founded in 2016, the most logical domain name, <gsole.org>, was not available. Now it is! The board approved the acquisition of this domain, which will house a refurbished website including fuller member services. The migration will take place early in August 2020.

New Individual Membership Rates Approved

The board approved a new fee schedule for annual individual memberships, which includes reduced rates. Here’s I the new fee schedule:

• Student/Contingent Members: $20
• Regular Members (pre-tenure or full-time non-tenured faculty and administrators): $30
• Sustaining Members (tenured faculty and executive-level administrators: $50
