    MSR needs your help. The MSR Interest Group has established
    three task forces for this academic year.

    The Fundraising Task Force is designed to identify people
    and groups who could be approached to support MSR activities
    such as the doctoral consortium, best dissertation proposal
    award, and research sponsored by MSR and its leadership.
    Members of this task force would be expected to identify and
    contact these groups, after consulting with the MSR
    leadership, and ask for donations.If you are interested in
    this task force, please contact Bob Giacalone at
    ragiacal@temple.edu. A Chair is needed for this Task Force,
    so any volunteers who would want to Chair this task force
    should make me aware of it. This Task Force will not require
    writing up any format reports. At the Business Meeting, two
    people signed up for this Task Force, but at least 5 more
    people are needed for this Task Force to run effectively do
    its job.

    The Connection Task Force is designed to identify groups in
    AOM (such as Gender and Diversity and SIM) and out of AOM
    (such as the psychology and religion division of the
    American Psychological Association or the Institute of
    Noetic Science) and make formal contact with the leadership
    of these groups so as to identify common interests and
    explore possible joint ventures. If you are interested in
    this task force, please contact Bob Giacalone at
    ragiacal@temple.edu. A Chair is needed for this Task Force,
    so any volunteers who would want to Chair this task force
    should make me aware of it. This Task Force will not require
    writing up any format reports. At the MSR Business Meeting,
    six people signed up for this Task Force, but more help is
    needed.

    The Five Year Review Task Force is designed to help in
    developing the five year review report that is required by
    AOM. Those interested in this task force should contact
    Margaret Benefiel mbenefiel@executivesoul.com for details
    and needs. At the MSR Business Meeting, ten people signed up
    for this Task Force, but many more are needed.

    None of these task forces will require formal meetings at
    any location.

    Please volunteer for these Task Forces and to serve as Chair
    for either the Connection or Fund-raising Task Force.
