1. Critique and Award Entries
We're fast approaching the January 26th deadline for this year's C&A entries. We'd love to see a great turnout from our members in our new categories, as well as any other SIGs you're involved in. This year the silver and bronze awards will be handed out during the SIG business meetings; a great place to be recognized by your peers!
To submit a C&A entry, pull the form offline using the following link: http://www.aceweb.org/award/critique.html.
Good luck to everyone!
2. Diversity Workshop Ideas
If anyone would like to submit an idea for a breakout session or poster focusing on Diversity, proposals can be submitted at: http://www.aceweb.org/proposals/
3. Diversity SIG Business Meeting
Although last year's business meeting had a small turnout, the year before we met for lunch which lasted for a nice amount of time. Please let us know how you feel about limiting the time for the Diversity SIG business meeting to 45 minutes. Will this give us enough time to discuss everything? Will this give you more time to attend another SIG business meeting?
