ABJ30 Member and Friends,
Please plan to join us for the ABJ30
SUMMER MID-YEAR MEETING in WDC!
Our Committee mid-year meeting will
be held at the 2008 North American Travel Monitoring Exhibition and Conference,
August 6-8, 2008, at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in
I will be looking for volunteers
prior to August 1st to help organize our strategy for dealing with
papers. We all have greatly appreciated Ed Christopher’s amazing
paper review process and I hope we can replicate his efficiencies – but it
will take some planning to keep things running smoothly. We also will
need volunteers for the Annual meeting agenda and a final version of our Goals
and Objectives.
Thinking about an ABJ30 WORKSHOP at
TRB?? We will need to prepare any workshop ideas soon as the formal
proposal needs to be submitted by June 1st. Here’s what
we will need to provide:
o
Workshop Title
o
Workshop length (Half Day/Full Day)
o
Description (A paragraph description is sufficient)
o
Sponsoring and/or Co-Sponsoring committees
o
Committee Contact
I will be posting the summary report
from the Data Retreat as soon as it is ready (should be very soon). The excitement
from this conference should help us move forward on those areas where ABJ30
Members and Friends have interests – and help us identify funding sources
and opportunities to work with other Committees as well.
I will be talking with Ed about how
best to keep the news flowing to all of you – including reviewing our
website strategy – and working with listservs.
Regards,
Kate
