I am happy, actually elated, to report that Mike Rose has agreed to be on the panel. With Lynn and Mike on it, I think it will really give basic writing a big boost. We also plan to work hard on getting some press coverage for the talk, so if anyone has any
connections with media people in St. Louis, please let me know.<br>

<br>
Hi Steve,<br>
<br>
Thanks to you and the subcommittee for revising the mission statement. Overall, it looks great. I have one concrete suggestion and two questions. The suggestion is to add "class" to the list of forms of diversity so it would read: "...especially in terms of
language, race, ethnicity, class, background, and ability."<br>
<br>
The questions are 1) Although CBW has not been formally engaged in any K-12 (especially 6-12) dialogues, is it something that we want to promote? The current discussions about common core standards, etc., seem to offer an opportunity for us to engage more visibly
and effectively with secondary school teachers.<br>
<br>
2) In the last bullet point on influencing public policies, I wonder if we also want to say something about private foundations and corporate influence on education. Given the privatization of education, the intent to influence "public policies" almost, alas,
seems too little, too late.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for pushing us forward.<br>
<br>

Subject: [CBW_Exec] CBW Mission Statement info<br>
<br>
CBW Executive Board Members:<br>
<br>
The informal EB subcommittee on a mission statement (made up of Susan Bernstein, Kathleen Baca, Marissa Klages, and Steve Lamos) has worked for the past couple of weeks to produce a mission statement that reflects our collective CBW work at CCCC.<br>
<br>
Our final version of this statement--the product of lots of subcommittee deliberation over the past couple of weeks--is attached to this e-mail in .docx format. (We've also run it by Liz and Hannah as well.)<br>
<br>
At this point, we're asking you all to take a careful look at this statement and offer any final suggestions (e.g., wording things, etc.) that you may have. Once we can all agree on a final version of this statement, it'll go up on the CBW website ASAP.<br>
<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
Steve Lamos and the subcommittee<br>
