1] Welcome new members
2] Review
of Work plan
New steers
should have received a packet that includes a copy of the CURC work
plan.
Track
Session Status
Karyn
Kaplan is pulling together the sessions. This year NRC will not have
a sustainability or educational track so
trying to fill some of those gaps with our sessions. Also trying
to bring in new speakers and new ideas. Most panelists and moderators
are confirmed.
Discussion of ideas for future workshops… Karyn is keeping notes on
ideas for future years. If you have ideas for sessions, please send
them to
Karyn.
Other
NRC Congress issues
Karyn
will look into a location for a CURC social gathering for Saturday
and possibly Tuesday nights. Also need
to get NRC the schedule of CURC events for Austin. Pete is pulling
this together. CURC steering committee meeting will be Saturday
probably beginning
at 1:00 p.m. As you schedule your travel, plan to get to Austin in
time for this meeting. Annual member meeting will probably be Tuesday
afternoon.
Need to identify a person to be in charge of organizing the booth.
Keefe has a contact, Amy Armbruster, who'd like to be involved
so maybe she
would be interested. Roger will contact Keefe about this and the
location/content of our booth.
Workshop
status
Krista
is pulling together and has a draft of ideas that were sent to RECYC-L
and the CURC member database for comments.
Karyn has suggested to Krista to look into doing something with "Good
Company" a sustainability consulting firm working with campuses.
Seems like a good idea since The Natural Step workshop was such a hit
at NRC in Seattle.
RO Conferences
Carolyn
Noack & Pat Chase are interested in working
with ROs to incorporate CURC-related information into annual conferences.
Please e-mail Carolyn with the contacts and dates for your state recycling
conferences.
ABCs of
campus recycling and membership benefits packet
Christine
von Kolnitz and Karyn are working on this and hope to have something
to present at Austin. They hope to have both in a web-based format.
They'd like to see some of the 'web money in the CURC budget used
for development
of this. Karyn has a web master who could do this if there is money
available. Ed also knows someone who has the time and skills to
do
this if needed.
Membership
status
Keefe
did a lot of work on membership but we need to continue the momentum
and dedication to this effort.
Outreach
status
Overall
web strategy and presence, benchmarking and standards, items Karyn
and Christine are working to develop.
3] Selection
of Officers and committee leaders
Officers to be nominated:
Vice-Chair/Treasurer -- Roger, nominated, elected
Secretary - Julie nominated, elected
Education/Workshop
Outreach
Membership
There is general consensus that some of these positions may be
best divided up with steers taking the lead on specific tasks or
projects.
Pete will send an e-mail to the steering committee with the rest of
the positions and tasks involved.
**We will have a conference call on June 12 at noon eastern time to
finalize the rest of the positions.**
*******NOTICE: Our July call will be on the 10th, noon eastern, as the first
Wed. of the month is the day before a holiday. *******
