Re: CIGD Fair and Display Boards
Greetings!
The Las Vegas national conference will be here before we know it!
I wanted to summarize the details for you regarding the Commission
and Interest Group Fair, and the display boards
being provided. You will be able to start setting up your Fair table
after 6:30am on Thursday morning (Fair starts at 7:30am). Continental
breakfast will be provided in the same room during the Fair for
conference attendees.
Display
boards can be picked up after the Leadership dinner on Tuesday evening,
October 4, or on Wednesday at the conference registration area (outside
Palace rooms 1-2). Additional details will be provided at the Commission
& Interest Group Division meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
The
trifold display board is made of foamcore, is about 1/4-inch thick,
and is all black with no writing on it. The overall board dimensions
are 40x32 inches--middle panel is 20 inches wide and side panels
are each 10 inches wide. Push pins will be provided for you to use
to post your information rather than using tape so these boards
can be salvaged and used again. Or, you can bring a stapler to use,
if you prefer.
For
suggestions of items and activities that you may wish to incorporate
into your display, visit www.nacada.ksu.edu/CandIGDivision/Emails/CIGDEmails-CIGDFair.htm.
Information is also provided regarding spending guidelines for the
$50 allocated to each commission and interest group for your Fair
display.
Signup
sheets will be provided again for each table on which members can
indicate their interest in joining the commission/interest group,
being added to its listserve, or volunteering to help with activities.
Please turn these sheets in to me after the Fair -- a copy will
be made and given back to you to use for follow-up purposes. If
you wish to take these sheets to your annual meeting to circulate
for additional signees, you can turn them in to me later during
the conference. After the conference, our database will be updated
accordingly with the members' designated commission/IG choices and
listserve subscription requests.
COMMISSION
CHAIRS: The CIGD Fair would be an excellent opportunity to recruit
members interested in reading proposals submitted this winter for
next year's conference presentations in Indianapolis.
The
new CIGD brochure will be distributed to each conference attendee
this year in the registration packets. A few extra will be distributed
to each table at the Fair in case extras are needed.
When
the Fair is over, please remove any posted items from the boards
that you would like to keep. The Executive Office staff will pick
up the boards, and remove all items and push pins before packing
the displays up to ship back to the office. You are more than welcome
to use your CIGD Fair 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 the past couple of 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. Please let me know if you have
any questions. Thanks! See you soon!
Julia
