[CBW_Exec] Award for Innovations

[Adams, Peter]

I'm not sure who's responsible for this, but I would like to request that the web page on the innovations award be updated in two ways:

1.  to list CCBC as this year's winner
2.  to update the info for candidates for 2010; right now the dates and deadlines are for the 2009 award.

Thanks.

Peter

Subject: [CBW_Exec] A second item for your consideration (BWe and CBWmembership)
 
Hi, all--

Just wanted to add a second item to the table, which we can push to the
background as we continue to explore ways to fold our new membership into
the mix (much more pressing matter, as Kelly collected this list of 150 new
members for us more than two months ago! Thanks, Kelly!)

So . . . 
1. What do we want to do with the names Kelly collected for us? These folks
are not on the CBW-L listserv, or at least they are not supposed to be.
Kelly requested that only those who weren¹t should send her their names and
contact information. She has a couple of excellent suggestions, including
beginning a new listserv. Perhaps one we could use just to announce
> BWe stuff<ala Reflections and other good models for marketing? Something we
> could tie to the blog Liz has created for us? Something that includes, once or
> twice a year, information regarding all the various benefits associated with
> joining CBW and how to join? Something that helps folks see the various goals
> associated with upcoming projects, like our social justice policy initiative.
> 
> The difference between this list and CBW-L could be that it is a list for
> receiving messages not discussing. For online discussions, we have CBW-L. We
> could easily establish such a list at A&M-Commerce.
> 
> What we¹d need is someone to generate content and send out these notices,
> including crafting the initial notice. Perhaps we also need a membership
> committee. I think we do. Anyone want to take this on? Organize it? I¹m afraid
> I can¹t take any lead on this, but (as always!) I¹m happy to run my mouth on
> the subject. On any subject. :0)
> 
> What about this? What about other ideas? A major goal for CBW before 2010
> meeting was to increase membership and visibility. Seems that doing something
> with those names is crucial in this respect. (Note: Kelly isn¹t responsible
> for the long wait between gathering names and having this important
> conversation. I am. I just couldn¹t get to it and wasn¹t really sure how to
> proceed. So I didn¹t. Sorry, folks! So sorry.

> 2. BWe: CELJ has just put out some best practices for editors of online
> journals. We are well on our way to fulfilling the best practices in our
> newest incarnation of the journal. More is necessary, it seems. The deadline
> for our next issue is June 15, so soon we¹ll need to have this discussion more

> Here¹s what they say: http://www.celj.org/editor.php (see Best Practices for
> Online Journal Editors).
> 
> Perhaps we need to get the board together to discuss these issues. Just the
> editorial board? If you are not on the editorial board and want to weigh in,
> please do! If not, no problem. We¹ll move this convo off list to the editorial
> board around the time submissions are due.
> 
> Also: update on website update coming. We may be over our biggest hurdle and
> very, very close to getting this crucial update completed.

Hi, all--

So Kelly has gathered a bunch of names together in an attempt to energize
our CBW group. Thanks, Kelly!

The question from here (and I should have asked much earlier) is this: What
do we want to do with these names? How do we bring them into the fold?

Thanks for your help and great ideas!
