[CBW_Exec] CBW 2013

[J. Elizabeth Clark]

Hi Folks,

Starting work on CBW 2013.  What is more interesting to you right now?

1.  A focus on basic writing & political issues (access, cutting back on
programs, etc.)
2.  A focus on basic writing in HBCU and HSIs?
3.  A focus on basic writing & technology
4.  Something else?

I'm thinking that we would do a similar flow to this year:

1.  Opening keynote (on theme)
2.  Networking
3.  Poster presentations
4.  Afternoon keynote (on theme)
5.  Maybe (?) a second round of poster presentations (?)  OR a session
on publishing & grant writing

What do you think?

Liz
