SSCS Member-at-Large 2023-2025
Each year, SSCS rotates out the five Members-at-Large whose term on the AdCom will be ending in December. This is done through the annual SSCS AdCom Election, which will be held in the Fall.
The role of a MAL is to understand the society’s strategic plan, and consider and vote on motions aimed at supporting our strategy through new or modified programs and services. MALs, along with other AdCom members, are responsible for providing financial oversight, ensuring adequate resources for SSCS to fulfill its mission, ensuring legal and ethical integrity, effective organizational planning, recruiting and orienting new AdCom members, and enhancing SSCS’s public standing through involvement in the society’s various committees.

The famous quote “Culture eats strategy for breakfast “ from Peter Drucker implies that a company's culture is decisive to attainment. Culture isn’t about comfy chairs; rather, it is about the shared value, attributes, and characteristics of a company on how they handle situations like high pressure or tough deadlines, treat customers or business partners, and beyond. As a young professional and a future employee, you might wonder how one contributes to the working culture and how the human factor plays a role in the working environment. You might even wonder what a healthy culture really means fundamentally and what you can do to adapt to it. In this webinar, we invite three senior professionals who have worked in multiple organizations around the globe. They will share their personal journeys of working in different environments and how they adapt to different cultures. Live Q&A session will follow to answer all the questions. Registration is free and open to all.
