Re: CIGD Fair and Display Boards
Greetings! The Indianapolis annual
conference is just around the corner! I wanted
to provide you with a summary of the details regarding the CIGD
Fair and display boards. You can set up your Fair table after
6:30am on Thursday morning (Fair starts at 7:30am). Continental
breakfast for conference attendees will be provided in the same
room during the Fair.
Display boards can
be picked up after the Leadership dinner on Tuesday
evening, October 17, or anytime on Wednesday near the conference
registration area (outside Westin Grand Rooms 1-2-3). Additional
details will be provided at the Commission & Interest Group
Division meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
Visit www.nacada.ksu.edu/CandIGDivision/Emails/CIGDEmails-2006Fair.htm for
display board dimensions and suggestions
of items/activities to incorporate into your display.
Information is also provided regarding spending guidelines for
the $50 allocated to each commission and interest group for your
Fair display. Push pins will be provided for your use in posting
your information rather than using tape so boards can be salvaged
and reused, or you can bring a stapler to use, if preferred.
Signup sheets will be provided
for each table on which members can indicate their interest in
being added to your unit's listserve and/or volunteering to help
with activities. A second signup sheet will also be provided for
you to circulate at your annual meeting for additional signees.
Please turn these sheets in to me before leaving the conference
-- a copy will be made and given back to you to use for follow-up
purposes. After the conference, the listserves will be updated
accordingly.
COMMISSION CHAIRS:
The CIGD Fair is an excellent opportunity to recruit members interested
in reading proposals submitted this winter for next year's conference
presentations. Nominations for Commission Chair could also be
solicited if being elected next spring.
An updated CIGD brochure
will be distributed to conference attendees in their registration
packets. A few extra will be available for distribution during
the Fair if needed.
When the Fair is over, please remove any posted items from the
boards that you would like to keep. Otherwise, Executive Office
staff will remove all items and push pins before packing up the
reusable display boards to ship back to the office. You are more
than welcome to use your display board during your annual commission
or IG meeting if you like. You can either take the display board
with you after the Fair or make arrangements with me to store
it until needed for your meeting.
Be sure to keep the receipts for
expenses incurred in putting together your Fair
display board (up to $50). You will receive a reimbursement form
at the CIG Division meeting to submit with receipts. Interest
Group Chairs not attending the division meeting can get this form
from me during the Fair or send me an e-mail after the conference.
As with past Fairs, please do not use helium balloons to decorate
your table at the Fair, at your annual meeting or at any other
conference event. This will avoid being charged high fees for
hotel event staff to retrieve those that break away and float
up to the high ceilings. Having uninflated balloons as giveaways
is okay as well as balloons inflated with air that won't float
away!
I hope this information is helpful as you plan for your table
display and materials for the CIGD Fair. [FYI - The complete
onsite conference program is now available!]
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
See you soon!
Julia
