TO: Technology in Advising Commission Members
FROM: Andrea Irby, Chair

Hello all:

Hope the weather is good where you are. We just dug ourselves out of snow and ice here in North Carolina (where the winters are supposed to be mild)! I wanted to pass along a few upcoming deadlines as reminders so that you don't miss out on several key NACADA opportunities.

1) The Call for Proposals deadline for the 2004 National Conference in Cincinnati is February 9th. At the time I last checked the website, ONLY 11 days, 7 hours, 3 minutes, and 4 seconds remained to submit a proposal!!

If you have a project or presentation that is Technology-related and want to share with others, please submit a proposal. Also, many of you gave terrific presentations last year that may warrant being heard again. If you had great feedback to your presentation and/or it was at a time when many could not see it (perhaps on the last day) consider submitting your presentation again. You can update it to include any new research or experiences from this year.

Here is the link where you can submit your proposal. http://www.nacada.ksu.edu/NationalConf/2004/index.htm

2) Electronic Publication Awards and the Service to Commission Award nominations are due March 8, 2004. As it takes some time to pull the nominations together, I want to start reminding you now. Electronic Publication Awards are to recognize "the highest quality online advising materials currently in use by NACADA members". Please review the nomination website below for guidelines and submission links.

The Service to Commission award is for a super person who has given much to NACADA and who has provided outstanding service, leadership, and commitment to the Commission. A recognition plaque will be presented at the commission's annual meeting held during the NACADA National Conference. Help us recognize the great people that are involved with the Technology Commission by nominating them!

Here's the link, you know what to do!

All for now. If you have any questions about these activities, please feel free to e-mail me. It would be a refreshing change from all the SPAM I've been getting lately!

Sincerely,
Andrea
