The Eastern Division Executive Committee has reviewed the results of the fall 2011 survey on meeting dates. In light of these results, the Committee has decided to change the dates of future Eastern Division meetings to early January: specifically, the end of the first full week in January (counting Monday as the first day of the week). These new meeting dates will take effect in the 2015/16 academic year.

Not progress for me. At my university our winter quarter starts the first full week on January.
9:10: No need to be concerned, with any luck at all the APA will be generally recognized to be totally irrelevant to philosophy by 2015/16.
Love the doom....
But, wait: many of us did vote for this change, and (mirabile dictu)the Eastern APA did something its members asked it to do!
We could take a second or two to be pleased before sinking back into doom.
Yeah but the membership is made of self-centered philosophers and therefore useless
so not everyone can get their way? this is starting to get boring
of course not everyone will get their way but it would be nice if the dates for the Eastern dates fell during a time when academics generally have time off.

@2:31/32:
But, that would be summer (even then, it would turn out to be bad for somebody). I don't think this would work for the hiring part of it all.
