Return to CURC Minutes
CURC Steering Committee
August 8, 2000 Conference Call Minutes
Present: Pete Pasterz, Pam Flattich, Julie Aplington, Dale Ekert, Kurt
Teichert, Craig Barry (NRC), Rob Gogan
1) Approval of Minutes
Slight change to a typo from last months minutes. Do we need to have
the entire steering committee approve this kind of change? Moved
by Julie, seconded by Pam: typos or minor changes can be made
at discretion
of secretary and/or chair, discrepancies in content or intent should
be approved by steering committee. With this decision the July minutes,
which had a date/day typo, are finalized/approved.
2) Congress Plan updates
Program Coding
Karyn provided information on her coding but we are unsure whether
or not NRC received or included the coding in their program. It
appears as if there are quite a few sessions coded and maybe we
need clarification
from Karyn. Since the NRC deadline for coding sessions has past
we may want to do a separate mailing highlighting or promoting
the CURC-related
sessions.
SC meeting agenda
We should all have information on our planning process and input
from members on what to add to planning (Pete has distributed
it in the
past). This information can serve as our agenda for this year's
meeting. Pete will resend this information to all steering
committee members.
If you have items to add, contact Pete.
Craig will
check to see if we have a room reserved for our steering committee
meetings.
Annual Member Meeting Agenda
We
will, as in the past, use the meeting to give committee updates,
get input/brainstorming ideas from members and solicit member interest
in committee activities. Meeting is scheduled for Monday, Sept.
11, 4:30 - 6:30.
Craig will
check to see if we have a room reserved for this meeting.
Other events
Council
networking event: Last call talked about getting sponsorship for
this social event. Per Craig we can approach potential funders
that CURC has a relationship with for support/sponsorship of the
event. Should check with NRC first to be sure the organization
has not already
been hit up for funding. Julie will contact Jack to see if he has
ideas or contacts that we could solicit.
CURC is
not "sponsoring" the
joint council event due to the conflict with our meeting but might
in the future. Need to check
with Krista to see if she was able to make any arrangements with the
Dixie Tavern so CURC can join the other Councils there following our
meeting.
CURC Booth
We
have two volunteers (Pam and Roger Guzowski) who are willing to
be in charge of the booth. Craig will be sure someone from
NRC contacts them with what registration assistance is available
to them.
3) Committee Updates
Regional
Conferences
Dale has
talked with both CJ (Yale) and Lance (N TX) and confirmed that they
have done initial work on basic logistics,
costs, etc. Luke (NRC) has not yet visited the sites. Until
site
visits are complete nothing further can be done. We need to
discuss these
problems in Charlotte and talk to NRC about timing needs
and options. Maybe NRC can give us a check list so we can complete
our
own site
visits. Dale will suggest this to Will & Luke and see if it can
happen. Kurt volunteered to visit Yale.
Outreach
Kurt
has talked to NWF Campus Ecology program representatives about
what CURC could bring to CEs Peer Experts program and about how
we might be able to benefit from their established funding support.
CE is a natural fit with us. Kurt will continue to pursue options
on working
together. Should also discuss other national and regional groups
we can work with and how to do this. This would include state RO
formation
of
college/university groups and what our role should be with these
groups. Pete will include this in our agenda for the board meeting
in Charlotte.
We also need to develop or obtain a list of key people in various
organizations we'd like to approach so we know the correct person
to contact. Outreach
committee given task of evaluating current relationship with RECYC-L
and possibility of moving it to NRC. Kurt will contact John Thompson,
NRC, about this.
Project
List Spreadsheet
Format
accepted by Will/NRC. Looks good to steering committee. Will use
it as a base and work with it further
at meeting in Charlotte.
4) NSDA Scholarships
Apparently
this is happening this year and NSDA has applicants they are reviewing.
Pete will contact NSDA to see what's happening
and if
they want our input in the selection process. Julie volunteered to
review applications if necessary.
5) Next
meeting date
Call
scheduled for Tuesday, August 29, 2000 at noon EST. Moved a week early
to allow more time to discuss and act upon anything
necessary
prior to Charlotte.
