CURC Steering Committee
December 3, 2003 Conference Call Minutes

Present: Pete Pasterz, Sheela Backen, Julie Cahillane, Angie Fowler, Alana Levine, Carolyn Noack, Pat Chase

Not Present: Jack DeBell, Rob Gogan, Ed Newman, Michael Youdelman

1. Work Plan/Budget Update

Pete is playing tag with NRC, when he gets the information he will share with the committee.

2. ABC’s Update

Four chapters have been forwarded to Kate Krebs, she will get back to the Steering Committee with comments. Angie is working on Chapter 4; Carolyn completed Chapter 14 (C&D); Mike is working on Chapters 2 and 25. Julie completed Chapter 1; Karyn and Christine are still wrapping up a couple more Chapters. Need status from Alana on Chapter 3 and Pete on Chapter 5.

3. Webmaster

Consider this position more of a coordinator, not necessarily to do the actual design. We may have to pay someone to do the actual input and design, unless the person designated as the webmaster has a person on staff that can do the work. Pete will develop a job description for a Steering Committee member for this position.

4. Membership

Brochure update - Julie or Pete will try and get in touch with Keefe with regards to the non-CURC list. Angie will look into getting CURC members who have dropped out because their state no longer has a state RO. She will pursue this with questions such as, do they realize they are no longer member of NRC if they paid their dues through their RO? Janice Cady has left NRC, CURC does not have a representative on the NRC board, there is a board meeting this weekend that may result in the assignment of a representative. Angie wants a list of CURC members and states with RO’s, this is on the NRC web site. Richard Brundedge (?) may be able to provide a current list of the membership and between that and the state RO list it may be possible to seek out from NRC’s list college people that are not active in CURC. Angie will try and have a report to the Committee by February.

5. Regional Workshops/CA Planning

Julie Muir is coordinating college sessions jointly with CURC for the August 2004 Congress in San Francisco. Pat will contact Julie and see what plans are in process and schedule a meeting to work out details on how do we split revenues and work efforts. Carolyn and Pat will look into what other RO’s are doing, are they having CURC events?

6. Rapid Response

Shelf until January

7. APPA/NWF

Shelf until January

8. NERC

How would this benefit CURC – Angie will check with Lynn Rubinstein, is this better than what we have already in our benchmarking. What type of support can CURC give or should they give. Is our support wanted or needed? Angie will get info with the next day or so. What about other Regions, nationwide? Motion: Angie moves that the CURC Steering Committee give its support to NERC to develop this Environmental Benefits Calculator for use by the nationwide college and university community. Second? Motion was seconded by ____________. Majority of votes were Yes to the motion. Pete would get a letter to Lynn by the end of the week.
