Oh, and yes on posting the mission statement. I will do so to the blog and to the FB page later today/tomorrow when I update sessions that folks have been posting to the listserv.<br>

Steve-I think it's fine to post the mission statement.<br>
<br>
Secondly, an editor I have been working with at Pearson says Pearson would be happy to host a CBW reception! Ask and you shall receive!<br>
<br>
We better figure out timing for that. Also please don't post that to the wider cbw list until we have more formal confirmation.<br>

Subject: [CBW_Exec] post mission statement?<br>
<br>
Hi All:<br>
<br>
I know that we all voted on the new CBW mission statement at the end of last Spring--and that response was quite positive.<br>
<br>
Would it make sense to post this statement on the CBW blog site or elsewhere to start the new academic year?<br>
<br>
(And, if the statement has already been posted elsewhere and I just missed it, then I apologize in advance.)<br>
<br>
Steve<br>

i there,<br>

How do you like these new logos? Can we decide on one of these, or would you like additional choices (these are based on our last go around of comments in June).<br>

Thanks for this alert, Shannon. A comprehensive Wikipedia entry would be a<br>
great, on-going project for graduate courses in basic writing theory and<br>
pedagogy.<br>
