TAA Creates Policy on Creating Position Statements
The TAA Board approved a new policy on how the association develops position statements relevant to textbook and/or academic authors with the goal of addressing critical issues that affect its members.
The policy states that “Position statements must be aligned with the association’s mission to support textbook and academic authors in the creation of top-quality educational and scholarly works that stimulate the love of learning and foster the pursuit of knowledge.”
The policy involves three steps: TAA Board Executive Committee Pre-Approval, Guidelines for Drafting a Position Statement, and the Position Statement Final Approval Process, which includes sending the proposed position statement to members for comment and review.
