AHCS Conference Committee

Hi all! This is our blog - hope this works, here's just a copy of the email I sent you all re: our first meeting:

1. The (Tentative) Schedule:
Dec 14th - have the CFP sent out on listservs
Early January/Start of semester - resend the CFP
Jan 25 - due date for CFP
Feb 22 - email chosen student speakers
April 26 - Conference!
April 27 - Faculty Colloquium

2. The Potential Themes (and keep in mind that these could include any number of synonyms/alterations)
The Innovative
The Forgettable
The Tangible

WE WILL VOTE ON THESE ON MONDAY!

3. The Sub-committees (Justin - we're sad you couldn't make it today, is there a particular subcommittee you'd like to help on? Preferably one of the first two as they have less people?)
Daniella: your general secretary/chair/fuhrer/queen - I will be bouncing between all of these groups to facilitate communication and pick up slack!)
Communications: Saelan, Fran, Anne
Organization: Anne-Sophie, Wendy, Alexandra
Session Planning: Tomasz, Li, Paul, Maryse


THINGS TO THINK ABOUT FOR MONDAY:
- think about the potential themes and which you would prefer, after our meeting on Monday we will (hopefully) each be writing up little 2-sentence blurbs about how the themes fit into our own disciplines, to assist the Communications team with the CFP
- think about potential keynotes that you'd like to see
- anything else you think we may have forgotten to discuss/delegate today

THINGS I'LL BE WORKING ON FOR MONDAY:
- I'll continue to liaise with Sara about the docs from last year so we can figure out some more details about how the previous committee worked
- I'll try to understand Moodle to set up a shared online space for us if we can all communicate (although if I can't figure it out, I'll switch to blogger or something)
