<font face="garamond,serif"><font size="4">Dear Colleagues,<br><br>Just in case you missed my suggestions for including everyone, I've re-posted that information below. While I understand the desire for selectivity, I want to add to Marcia's support for inclusiveness. I speak from my recent experiences as BWe co-editor, as immediate past co-chair of CBW. If Shannon and Kathleen don't mind me speaking for them, I would want to add that we considered mentoring new colleagues toward publication and presentation a critical part of our positions as co-editors and co-chairs. <br>
<br>Please know I speak from the phenomenal mentoring I have received (and STILL receive!) from colleagues in the profession-- and especially from people on the CBW executive board. People here took a chance on me back in the day-- and their support continues to nurture my work. <br>
</font></font><font face="garamond,serif"><font size="4"> </font></font><font face="garamond,serif"><font size="4"><br>There are often invisible reasons for proposals we regard as "weak." Perhaps our colleagues who rank "low" are busy with teaching duties at schools with 4/4 or higher loads-- and no release time for research, summers included. Or perhaps our colleagues do adjunct work because full-time work for teaching Basic Writing is increasingly unavailable. I have found myself in such circumstances in my career. <br>
<br>Because of these experiences </font></font><font face="garamond,serif"><font size="4">I believe in "lifting as we climb" reaching out to others as other reached out to us. </font></font><font face="garamond,serif"><font size="4">During difficult economic times, support for people relatively new to BW seems VITAL to keeping our organization fresh and vibrant-- and still relevant in changing times. <br>
<br>So with that in mind, please find below my suggestions for an inclusive program.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Susan<br><br></font></font>
