Who can submit suggestions?
Any ASLS employee--or group of employees--may submit a suggestion at any time. Although this program is aimed at ASLS employees, non-division employees may also use this form to submit suggestions to ASLS.
What happens after I submit a suggestion?
On receiving your suggestion, the suggestion coordinator will respond by email (if applicable) and evaluate the suggestions for appropriate ideas.
If the suggestion requires minimal resources and impacts a single department, the coordinator will forward it to the appropriate department personnel for review at an upcoming meeting.
If the suggestion requires significant resources or impacts multiple departments, the coordinator will forward it to the ASLS Council for review at an upcoming meeting.
If the suggestion is approved, the approvers will make recommendations and assign individuals to implement the suggestion. The goal is to discuss and act on suggestions within 2 months of receiving them.
After the suggestion is reviewed, the coordinator will post a response to the suggestion via email, via this website, or via both—even if the suggestion was not approved.
