I. Austin Congress Plans
a. Morning Workshop - 9th Annual CURC Workshop, 9 - 12:45, Sunday,
9/8, includes lunch. BJ Tipton and Erica Spiegel had agreed to
do a session on loading dock
specs and working with campus architects. Representatives from Marathon (equipment)

c. Planning Meeting - Saturday, 9/7, 1-6 p.m. Ed suggested making
an attempt to move forward with the issue of partnerships. Victoria
and Roger are still
doing preliminary work on CURC partnerships and discussing
groups to connect with. Ed's been working on the OH RO, schools
and CURC. Ed and Pat will discuss
this off the call.
d. Business Meeting - Tuesday, 9/10, 3:15 - 5:15 p.m.
Pete will
e-mail a copy of last year's agenda for the planning and business
meetings to solicit ideas for our agenda in Austin.
e. Social events - Karyn Kaplan is unable to plan the CURC social events.
Dale and Victoria will check with TX contacts they have to solicit ideas
for a Saturday night social gathering.
II. Work Plan
a. General: ROs vary so much from state to state that it greatly
increases the challenge in coordinating a nation-wide relationship
with ROs. Pat will
work with Carolyn to develop a survey for CURC members to find out where
they fall in their school structure, which government or non-government
organizations
they work with most, whether they are an NRC member through their RO, etc.
This information will help to determine what might make for the best CURC
partnerships as well as the best way to reach members and potential
members. Karyn Kaplan
is working on the ABCs manual for the web and also some of the member benefits
issues.
b. Committee leaders update - Membership and Publications are still
open. Ed may be interested in Membership and will discuss it with Pete
in the near future. Carolyn and Pat are willing to help with membership
from the RO angle. Still looking for someone for Publications.
c. Time lines/action plans - Pete will redistribute the spreadsheet
we've been using for timelines. Leaders for specific projects can provide
input as to a timeline and any missing items.
III. Final -- Next call scheduled for Aug. 7.
Congratulations, our call was finished in exactly on hour!
