InternalOpenings for the SSA Board of DirectorsSubmitted by Lyz on Sun, 2010-02-21 23:28.
![]() The Secular Student Alliance is looking for dedicated leaders who would like to run for positions on the SSA's Board of Directors! The SSA is a democratic organization and all SSA members are eligible to run for a position on the Board of Directors. Elections take place this May, and board terms are two years long. Board members are responsible for setting goals and policy for the organization, fundraising, reviewing progress, and promoting SSA. All Board members are expected to participate in fundraising. We are happy to train you to do this, but you must be willing. This Week: Get Ready to Renew!Submitted by august on Sat, 2010-02-13 13:07.
Freethinking Healer and Rabble-Rouser Helen Kagin dies at 76Submitted by august on Thu, 2010-02-11 05:15.
I had the pleasure and honor of knowing Helen for just shy of eleven years. The joy, intensity, and brilliance with which she lived her life are totally impossible to capture in words. At Camp Quest Ohio, most of the kids and younger counselors played this vigorous, no-holds-barred version of keep away in the pool with a ball. There was no leader, no ref, no written rules, no score keeping. It just came together organically, summer after summer. With a small handful of exceptions, only the youngest staffers played with any regularity. Well into her seventies, Helen could be counted on to play every time her and the ball were in the pool at the same time. Secular Student Alliance Bylaws updatedSubmitted by august on Mon, 2010-02-01 11:35.
On 1/5/2010 the Secular Student Alliance Board of Directors voted to make the following change to Article 3, Section 6, Part (a) of our Bylaws. There have been two requirements for being elected to the SSA Board of Directors: 1) Being one of the candidates who gets the most votes. The candidates with the most votes will fill the open slots on the Board of Directors. 2) Getting at least a majority of the votes cast. The Bylaws have been changed so that the second requirement is met with only one third of the votes cast. Secular Student Alliance Advisory Board Chair on Fresh Air 12/23 and ABC World News on 12/27Submitted by august on Mon, 2009-12-14 19:14.
Epstein chairs the Advisory Board of the Secular Student Alliance and has worked closely with students at several SSA chapters beyond Harvard—including Yale, Tufts, Boston University, and Brandeis. The book describes the work of the SSA in its appendix; and Greg mentioned the Secular Student Alliance in both of these big interviews, though of course we don’t know what the shows will choose to include.

Associated Press covers Secular Student Movement: Atheist student groups flower on college campusesSubmitted by august on Fri, 2009-11-20 19:12.
We were delighted to see the Associated Press story by Eric Gorski, Atheist student groups flower on college campuses, that came out yesterday. It might be the most accurate and thoughtful piece about the secular student movement that has ever been written. It has been a long time coming, but we're delighted to see the seeds that we (and so many other people and organizations) have planted over the last decade flower in such numbers! Keep up the excellent work everyone!

October 22, 2009 SSA Member Issues $50,000 Challenge to the Secular Community: Support the Secular Student AllianceSubmitted by august on Sun, 2009-10-11 10:03.
What level of support for a secular future makes you HAPPY and PROUD? Donate by Dec. 21 and your money will be matched dollar for dollar! Secular Student Alliance member Todd Stiefel knows that 2009 has been a fantastic growth year for the Secular Student Alliance. Not only has our affiliate count continued to rise dramatically (almost 20 new groups just since our August conference!), but SSA services have facilitated an incredible variety of campus activities and events promoting secular values and visibility for freethinking youth. (For more detail, be sure to read our Activity Summary.) Recently Todd learned that the 2009 economy has presented difficult fundraising challenges for the Secular Student Alliance, a completely independent organization that relies entirely on the secular community to continue its work. From January 1, 2009 to October 1, 2009 the SSA took in approximately $93,000 -- a full $60,000 less than in the same period for 2008. Our successes are far outpacing our resources -- meaning we need more help than we've ever needed in order to accomplish more good than we've ever been in a position to accomplish. Todd told us he wants to make 2009 as strong financially for SSA as it has been programmatically. He is offering a $50,000 matching challenge to the rest of the secular community to support the Secular Student Alliance. |
