[CBW_Exec] CBW: Meet at 9 AM on Thursday APRIL 3?

Tue Feb 5 14:01:11 CST 2008

Hi All,

It's so nice to hear your voices and to be able to look forward to seeing
everyone again.  The meeting at 9 am on Thursday, should work fine for
me, too.  I'm not coming in until late Weds. evening, but even if our plane
is delayed, I should still get there for the meeting.

Subject: [CBW_Exec] CBW: Meet at 9 AM on Thursday APRIL 3?

Hello again and happy Super Tuesday!

So far it looks like most of us are available at 9 AM on Thursday April 3-- so let's do it!  Kathleen and I will be back to you soon with a meeting place and an agenda.

If anyone has serious objections to this time/day, please let us know.  Some of us don't have funding to stay for the entire week and many of us still need to make travel plans-- so Thursday morning seems to be the best compromise.

ALSO-- looking forward to hearing which sessions you would like to review.  I'd like to send out a CFP to the CBW and WPA lists for other reviews as well.  Again, let me know if there are any objections.

Thanks and best,

Susan

	Greetings everyone!

	It's almost that time of year again.  2 months from today we will
	reconvene at the CBW workshop in New Orleans.  Kathleen and I will
	talk soon to draft an agenda.  Meanwhile here are some items for your
	consideration:

	1) Executive Board Meeting:  Let's plan a date/time for this meeting
	before our dance cards get too full.  I'd like the propose that we
	meet at Thursday April 3 at 8 AM.  This date/time will allow folks to
	attend the WPA breakfast -- and will help out those of us who won't be
	able to stay for Friday or Saturday.

	If this time/date doesn't work for you, please suggest another.

	2) Last year Kathleen and I attended a dynamite session on Mina
	Shaunessy's legacy at CUNY.  I believe it was Mary Soliday who
	reminded us that Mina Shaughnessy used to assign her colleagues to
	attend CCCC sessions related to Basic Writing so that they could
	review together important trends in the field.

	Kathleen and I agreed that we wanted to try this strategy for 2008.
	So we'd like to propose that each of us on the Executive Board choose
	at least one session to attend and to briefly review.  We would like
	to publish these reviews in a forthcoming issue of BWe.

	To find a session of interest to you, please complete the following steps:

	--Go to the CCCC searchable program at http://www.ncte.org/CCCC/program/

	--Go to KEY WORD  and type in BASIC WRITING.  You can also go to FOCUS
	and scroll down to BASIC WRITING.  However, KEY WORD will yield more
	sessions-- and happily there are a lot of them this year.

	--Write back to Kathleen and me by February 22 stating which session
	you would like to
	review.  We'd like to request that you not review your
	own presentations (wonderful as those will be!)-- but to choose
	something that is perhaps new to you or outside of your area.  This
	way we'll be able to cover a good cross section of the interesting
	work that our colleagues are doing across the country.

	Thanks so much for your continued committment to CBW.  Kathleen and I
	look forward to hearing from you soon!

	Peace and happy Groundhog Day,

	Susan Naomi Bernstein
	Co-chair, Conference on Basic Writing
	LaGuardia Community College, CUNY

	PS For those of you who don't know yet-- due to the confluence of many
	serendipitous circumstances-- I am now living and working in Queens, NY.
