CHUS President’s Letter

Greetings from the New President (2015-2017)

March 16, 2015

Dear Colleagues, Friends, and CHUS Members,

With more than 20 papers presented and three awards given, participants of the CHUS panels at the AHA annual conference in January 2015 at New York all called it a great success. At the CHUS Membership Meeting, Professor Zhiwei Xiao, President of CHUS in 2013-2015, announced the new 2015-2017 CHUS Board of Directors as the result of the election which took place in the fall of 2014.

As the newly elected president, I’m very happy to present you the 2015-2017 CHUS Board:

Dr. Dandan Chen
Secretary
Farmingdale State College, SUNY

Dr. Danke Li
Conference Coordinator
Fairfield University

Dr. Qiang Fang
Treasurer
University of Minnesota, Duluth

Dr. Shuhua Fan
Newsletter Editor and Web Manager
University of Scranton

Dr. Xiaobing Li
President
University of Central Oklahoma

Currently, Dandan is updating the membership list and recruiting new members; Danke is organizing the CHUS panels at the 2016 AHA; Qiang Fang is managing the CHUS accounts; and Shuhua is updating our website and group email address.

We’re ready to take the new responsibilities and challenge to lead our association into a new year. The future does, indeed, look bright for the CHUS. The energy, talent, and commitment that exist in our organization are second-to-none. I’ll work with the new board and focus our efforts on the following areas:

First of all, we will carry on the previous board’s effort to ensure financial stability by expanding membership and developing new revenues through foundations, corporate, and individual donors, grants, and projects. We’ll have discussion on our membership drive, membership fee policy, and other on-going issues.

Secondly, the board will continue its strong support to The Chinese Historical Review, working with Dr. Hanchao Lu, executive editor of CHR, and the publisher to increase the subscription and reduce the costs.

Thirdly, we’ll increase our contacts with other scholarly and professional associations inside and outside the U.S. We’ll continue to work with the universities, institutes, and academies in Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, and Taiwan.

Fourthly, we’ll continue our presentation at the AHA and ACPSS conferences and also expand our academic programs through coordinating and organizing essay collections from our members to publish CHUS books. We’re planning to publish one book every year (in 2015, 2016, and 2017).

The last, but not the least, we’ll maintain the excellence and visibility of the CHUS through our projects, regular newsletters, and website. The board will work with our members and defend the individual rights and interests of our members through effective advocacy or any means necessary.

I welcome your responses and suggestions to this way of formulating our priorities for the next two years. I’m excited to serve as CHUS president and am looking forward to working with you to reach our goals. Our members we serve are the tickets to our success!

Best,

Xiaobing Li
President
2015-2017 Board of Directors
