After yesteday’s election, this year’s directors met for a number of hours to figure out who was going to be this year’s officers and how they intend to steer the AST for the coming year. The theme for this year is ‘Value through Growth’.

That that means for the moment is the following. Increase value to Individuals, Teams, Communities and Industry through growth of Informational Resources, Peer Collaboration, Awareness and a Common set of Ethics and Values. All very hand-wavey, but the board has committed to communicating to the membership specific actionable deliverables against that soundbyte in the next couple weeks.

In the meantime, if you missed the announcement, members (or likely even non-members if they wrap it in such language as ‘If you did X, I would be more likely to join’) should email president@associationforsoftwaretesting.org with their suggestions about what they can do to improve value to you.
