[CBW_Exec] CBW Executive Board Meeting (time + agenda)

[Shannon Carter]

Hello, CBW EB!

And so it appears while I was looking the other way CCCC landed on my doorstep. Looking forward to seeing everyone! 


My deepest apologies for being out of the loop. In "good news" I'll tell you more about why, but for now:


1. When shall we meet? Some of you were able to respond to Hannah's Doodle poll @   http://doodle.com/27fpqwnwiwnzg2dnhzhs6sei/admin#table

>From what we have thus far, it appears no time is going to work for everyone. Kelly Ritter has made arrangements to stay an extra day, which opens up several options Saturday afternoon. Please consider those options when filling in the Doodle poll. If I'm remembering correctly, many of our CBW EB members must leave by Friday, but let's get a better understanding of what's possible on that front. I may be able to stay through Saturday if need be, as well. 

Suggestion: After CBW meeting, if everyone isn't too fried. Could meet after/over dinner, perhaps in the same room. I know everyone won't be available, but we can do some good business online before and after. 

2. Attached are the minutes from the 2010 meeting. Please review. Send potential agenda items to me (and Hannah, with Liz). We will compile this week and send out agenda early next, along with meeting time and place once decided. At that time, we will also send finalized agenda for CCCC workshop (CBW Program) and SIG. 

3. Good news! Following the CBW EB tradition of beginning with good news since we last met (and following Hannah's great lead of requesting that info be shared online), I'm requesting that we share with one another some good news since Louisville. 

Been some exciting stuff happening for me since we last met. 
a. Personal stuff: Got married (!) and moved into our new home 
Professional stuff:
b. Susan and I published the 2009/2010 Double Issue of BWe. 
c. I published article in latest issue of Computers and Composition Online, with colleagues Adkins and Dunbar-Odom
d. Leave last fall to complete work on second book project, which also lead to completing our first documentary on the subject and several grants (still pending)
e. With Deborah Mutnick, I hosted (just last week!) a conference on our campus with theme Writing Democracy (http://writingdemocracy.weebly.com). We'll also be co-editing a special issue of Community Literacy Journal on the subject. Pumped about that. 
f. With Laurie Grobman, Jenn Fishman, and a cast of others, we just submitted a CCCC Task Force statement on Undergraduate Research. 
e. With Bump Halbritter, it seems we may publish a special issue of Kairos dedicated to digital scholarship by undergraduates. 
f. With a graduate student and help of local history librarian, I was able to install a Texas Historical Marker at the oldest African American church in Commerce, the first to commemorate a building in this historically segregated neighborhood. 
List goes on. I'll stop there. A good year, though a busy one. ;)

You? 
Shannon
