[CBW_Exec] CBW EXEC BOARD April 3, 9 a.m. in New Orleans

[Kathleen Baca]

CBW Board,
I'm attaching the minutes that you all approved last spring, from our
executive board meeting.  They'll remind us what we were thinking then and
help get us centered as we attend to the agenda and business of CBW for
this year's meeting, Thursday, April 3, 9:00.

A couple of announcements from your co-chairs.

First, we have nominated Hannah Ashley and Shannon Carter as new
co-chairs, and they are willing to serve.  The nomination process is open,
and we will vote/approve/cheer the new three-year co-chairs at our board
meeting.  So, if there are other nominees, please put forth the names
(after their agreement, of course)no later than this Friday.

Second, we have asked Eileen Ferreti and Sonya Armstong to join the board.
 Their commitment and excellence has been demonstrated, and Susan and I
are pleased at their willingness to work.  If you have names you'd like to
submit for board membership, please do so by Friday, and we'll all
consider them at the meeting.  We are also thinking of Rebecca Milanarcyck
and Debra Mutnick.

So far, for agenda items, we have the above, and
social justice statement (revisited)

SIG 2008

SIG 2009

What else needs to be considered? Deleted? Anything we can do via listserv
would be great, so that our precious time face-to-face can be used to
generate positive energy for CBW.  Please reply by Friday, and I'll get an
agenda cleaned up and ready before Monday.  My cell # is 575-571-7924.

See you all in a week.  kb

>> Greetings, everyone, from windy New York City.
>>
>> I write with a gentle reminder about our Executive Board Meeting on
>> Thursday April 3 @ 9  a.m. at CCCC in New Orleans.  Let's meet outside
>> of the CBW workshop room at 9 and then find a nook or cranny close by
>> conducive to serious and fruitful business.
>>
>> And now, the following items for your consideration:
>>
>> 1) Please RSVP for the meeting!!!!
>>
>> 2) Please send agenda items to Kathleen and me ASAP.
>>
>> 3) Please note that Barbara Gleason and Sarah Kirk are on hiatus this
>> year, but are planning to join us for the 2009 meeting in San
>> Francisco,  Congratulations to Sarah and her spouse Shannon Gramse on
>> the birth of their daughter Frances Scout Gramse in January!
>>
>> 4) Please, please note the following CFP for BWe.  I've already sent
>> it to the CBW list.  Would you also circulate it to other lists that
>> you are on?  Also-- PLEASE consider writing a review yourself.
>>
>> 5) Anything I'm leaving out or forgetting?  Let me know!
>>
>> Safe travels and warm wishes,

>> Susan
>>
>> CFP for Basic Writing Electronic Journal
>> Last year CBW co-chair Kathleen Baca and I attended a dynamite session
>> on
>> Mina
>> Shaunessy's legacy at CUNY, now featured in the current issue of the
>> Journal of Basic Writing.  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 implement this approach for CCCC
>> 2008.
>> So we'd like to propose that conference attendees write a review  of
>> at least one Basic Writing-related session.  We plan to publish these
>> reviews in a forthcoming issue of BWe.
>>
>> Reviews should be 500-700 words long and should be sent to Susan Naomi
>> Bernstein at sbernstein at lagcc.cuny.edu by June 15, 2008.
>>
>> To find a session of interest to you, please complete the following
>> steps:
>>
>> --Read through the sessions in this brochure and/or the CCCC program.
>>
>> --Find a session that you would like to attend. 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. The session you
>> attend should be BW-focused or should focus on a related category,
>> such as urban education, innovative pedagogy, education for social
>> justice, ESL learners, learners who are differently abled, and so on.
>>
>> -- Please send submissions by June 15, 2008 to Susan Naomi Bernstein
>> at  sbernstein at lagcc.cuny.edu .
>>
>> --Please feel free to email me in advance if you have questions or
>> concerns or would like to suggest a session to attend.
