General Objective: Organize the program and procure moderators and speakers for the 2012 Annual Meeting.
Specific Tasks:
- Meet with members of the Committee, if possible, at the 2011 Annual Meeting to discuss ideas and potential themes.
- Schedule a formal one-day meeting of the Committee in early fall to brainstorm topics and speakers for the sessions and divide up responsibilities for various panels and plenaries. This meeting is customarily held at the AAUP offices in New York, but could be held elsewhere if that is more convenient to the Committee.
- Establish a draft program schedule by October 2011. Provide outline of the program in an October report to the Board.
- Recruit program speakers by February 2012 or earlier. Allocate speakers’ budget and report to the Central Office by February 2012. Provide a preliminary program in a February report to the Board.
- Work with Susan Patton of the Central Office to coordinate logistics. Provide copy for preliminary program by February 1, 2012, and a final printed program by May 1, 2012, or other dates provided by Susan.
- Make periodic progress reports to the Board, including suggestions for major speakers in October and February.
- Work with the Central Office to help market the Annual Meeting, using social media and other methods.
