<P><FONT size=2>CBW Board,<BR>I'm attaching the minutes that you all approved
last spring, from our<BR>executive board meeting. They'll remind us what
we were thinking then and<BR>help get us centered as we attend to the agenda and
business of CBW for<BR>this year's meeting, Thursday, April 3, 9:00.<BR><BR>A
couple of announcements from your co-chairs.<BR><BR>First, we have nominated
Hannah Ashley and Shannon Carter as new<BR>co-chairs, and they are willing to
serve. The nomination process is open,<BR>and we will vote/approve/cheer
the new three-year co-chairs at our board<BR>meeting. So, if there are
other nominees, please put forth the names<BR>(after their agreement, of
course)no later than this Friday.<BR><BR>Second, we have asked Eileen Ferreti
and Sonya Armstong to join the board.<BR> Their commitment and excellence
has been demonstrated, and Susan and I<BR>are pleased at their willingness to
work. If you have names you'd like to<BR>submit for board membership,
please do so by Friday, and we'll all<BR>consider them at the meeting. We
are also thinking of Rebecca Milanarcyck<BR>and Debra Mutnick.<BR><BR>So far,
for agenda items, we have the above, and<BR>social justice statement

(revisited)<BR>CBW website<BR><BR>What else needs to be considered? Deleted?
Anything we can do via listserv<BR>would be great, so that our precious time
face-to-face can be used to<BR>generate positive energy for CBW. Please
reply by Friday, and I'll get an<BR>agenda cleaned up and ready before
Monday. My cell # is 575-571-7924.<BR><BR>See you all in a week.
kb<BR><BR>>> Greetings, everyone, from windy New York
City.<BR>>><BR>>> I write with a gentle reminder about our Executive
Board Meeting on<BR>>> Thursday April 3 @ 9 a.m. at CCCC in New
Orleans. Let's meet outside<BR>>> of the CBW workshop room at 9 and
then find a nook or cranny close by<BR>>> conducive to serious and
fruitful business.<BR>>><BR>>> And now, the following items for your
consideration:<BR>>><BR>>> 1) Please RSVP for the
meeting!!!!<BR>>><BR>>> 2) Please send agenda items to Kathleen and
me ASAP.<BR>>><BR>>> 3) Please note that Barbara Gleason and Sarah
Kirk are on hiatus this<BR>>> year, but are planning to join us for the
2009 meeting in San<BR>>> Francisco, Congratulations to Sarah and
her spouse Shannon Gramse on<BR>>> the birth of their daughter Frances
Scout Gramse in January!<BR>>><BR>>> 4) Please, please note the
following CFP for BWe. I've already sent<BR>>> it to the CBW
list. Would you also circulate it to other lists that<BR>>> you are
on? Also-- PLEASE consider writing a review
yourself.<BR>>><BR>>> 5) Anything I'm leaving out or
forgetting? Let me know!<BR>>><BR>>> Safe travels and warm
wishes,<BR>>><BR>>> Susan<BR>>><BR>>> CFP for Basic
Writing Electronic Journal<BR>>> Last year CBW co-chair Kathleen Baca and
I attended a dynamite session<BR>>> on<BR>>> Mina<BR>>>
Shaunessy's legacy at CUNY, now featured in the current issue of the<BR>>>
Journal of Basic Writing. I believe it was Mary Soliday who
reminded<BR>>> us that Mina Shaughnessy used to assign her colleagues
to<BR>>> attend CCCC sessions related to Basic Writing so that they
could<BR>>> review together important trends in the
field.<BR>>><BR>>> Kathleen and I agreed that we wanted to implement
this approach for CCCC<BR>>> 2008.<BR>>> So we'd like to propose
that conference attendees write a review of<BR>>> at least one Basic
Writing-related session. We plan to publish these<BR>>> reviews in a
forthcoming issue of BWe.<BR>>><BR>>> Reviews should be 500-700
words long and should be sent to Susan Naomi<BR>>> Bernstein at
sbernstein@lagcc.cuny.edu by June 15, 2008.<BR>>><BR>>> To find a
session of interest to you, please complete the following<BR>>>
steps:<BR>>><BR>>> --Read through the sessions in this brochure
and/or the CCCC program.<BR>>><BR>>> --Find a session that you would
like to attend. We'd like to request<BR>>> that you not review
your<BR>>> own presentations (wonderful as those will be!)-- but to
choose<BR>>> something that is perhaps new to you or outside of your
area. This<BR>>> way we'll be able to cover a good cross section of
the interesting<BR>>> work that our colleagues are doing across the
country. The session you<BR>>> attend should be BW-focused or should focus
on a related category,<BR>>> such as urban education, innovative pedagogy,
education for social<BR>>> justice, ESL learners, learners who are
differently abled, and so on.<BR>>><BR>>> -- Please send submissions
by June 15, 2008 to Susan Naomi Bernstein<BR>>> at
sbernstein@lagcc.cuny.edu .<BR>>><BR>>> --Please feel free to email
me in advance if you have questions or<BR>>> concerns or would like to
suggest a session to attend.<BR>>>
