welcome will start at 9:00am and the program
will run from 9:30am to 1:30pm.
ii. The
call for proposals for SCIL Works 07 was distributed to the SCIL steering
committee for review. Contact
Debbi Renfrow with any suggestions for changes. The call for proposals will be distributed publicly
beginning on Sept 25 and the deadline for proposal submissions is Oct 20. Three presentations will be selected
and posters will also be accepted.
Katy Farrell French has the evaluation matrix that was used by proposal
reviewers last year and this will be used in the upcoming selection
process. Poster session guidelines
are the same as the ones used last year and are already posted on the SCIL
website. Debbi Renfrow accepted
volunteers to read presentation proposals and she will contact readers when the
review process begins.
People selected for the presentations and the poster session will receive
complementary admission to SCIL Works 07.
B. SCIL
Fall 06 Elections
Deb
Moore proposes a schedule for elections that closely follows the schedule used
in 2005. The nominations committee
was established and it is: Tracey
Mayfield, Catherine Haras, and Carol Womack. The form for nominee statements was reviewed by the
committee and comments/suggestions can be sent to Deb Moore. Dominique Turnbow will send an
announcement to the SCIL listserv to solicit nominations and to remind people
that nominees and voters must be current SCIL members.
C. LOEX
2007 Planning
i.
Call for proposals and proposal selection
The call for proposals is now live on the LOEX 2007 website, thanks to Allie
Carr. Amy Wallace has been
fielding inquiries from people considering submitting proposals or posters. Proposal reviewers will be selected
from volunteers for the LOEX programming There will be 4 groups (one for each track) with 5
readers in each. One leader will
be selected from each group and the 4 leaders will meet to negotiate final
decisions. LOEX 06 received 90
proposals and this may guide how many proposals the LOEX 07 readers can expect.
Dominique Turnbow created a publication plan based on the current and
foreseeable needs defined by Tracey Mayfield, Amy Wallace, and Duffy
Tweedy. She has posted
announcements of the proposal process to listservs, but she is accepting
suggestions for additional appropriate listservs. The registration date will be set by LOEX and we can
publicize the date once it is set.
LOEX takes care of publicizing the conference itself.
