Present: Pete Pasterz, Julie Aplington, Dale Ekart, Keefe Govus, Jack DeBell, Craig Barry, Pam Flattich, Fritz Franke, Rob Gogan, Kurt Teichert, Pat Chase

1] Finalize congress events planning

Workshop

Krista suggests using a table at the workshop lunch to promote/provide info. on the Toolkit. Jack will do this. Tour that is part of the workshop will be joined with the NRC “official” tour.

Planning Meetings Agenda

Agenda Pete sent out is it with few changes/suggestions provided. Krista will be sending e-mail with room locations for both meetings.

Social on Saturday

No specific location or event established. Krista was working on it but Keefe will contact her to help organize.

Social on Sunday

The host committee reception is Sunday night so we will not plan anything additional.

Booth

Krista is coordinating with Kurt (Standards) and Pam (Cookbook) for some display items. Jack will also provide something on the Tool Kit for our booth. Booth will be CURC-focused and individual schools can display/share their info. at the workshop. Will need some supplementary volunteers for booth staffing when Pam is not available. A list of open times for staffing will be sent out via e-mail. Watch for it and volunteer. Pete will bring a map and if there is room we will do the map/pennant display to represent our schools/locations.

2) Committee updates:

Outreach

Kurt, RECYC-L transition, talked with John Thompson at NRC about logistics of NRC hosting the list. They do host a couple lists that are not as active as ours. Their system is pretty simple and limited compared to what we have/use now. Would be more manual work necessary to maintain the list at our current level. Kurt believes that a lot of the monitoring, subscription control, etc. would be left to CURC members due to minimal NRC staffing for this function. The current managers of RECYC-L believe that it is against the spirit of the intent of the list to limit it to just CURC members. It was supposed to be a free exchange of ideas between those in similar positions. A closed subscription CURC list could be established as something different and would have to be hosted through NRC. We will discuss this further and come to a conclusion as to how to handle it at our steering committee meeting in Charlotte.

Purchasing

Jack, Tool Kit, final approval received from Will/NRC!! Jack sent out e-mail with details today. NRC will be handling “free” distribution to CURC members and will charge a fee to non-members wanting a copy. Jack would like feedback on his distribution list (in e-mail). We will discuss distribution and ways to use the Tool Kit further at steering committee meeting in Charlotte. Jack will have some copies to distribute to CURC members in Charlotte and will keep a list of who he gives them too.

Membership

Database, Krista not on call so will discuss another time.

OTHER

Julie will send schedule of steering committee meetings/events to everyone. Julie will talk to Krista to arrange for an e-mail to be sent to RECYC- L with a reminder for workshop, meetings, etc.
