Report
from Patrick Morrissey, Region 8 Conference Manager
From Bonni
Graham: Yes, folks, we will be having a Region 8 Conference this year.
Well, not quite this year but more this year than not. Here’s the
latest from our new Conference Manager Patrick Morrissey.
We’re planning to hold the 2002-2003 Region 8 Conference in mid-January in Las Vegas. The tentative theme, if we get the accommodations we seek, is "January in Paris" (a hint as to where I’d like to have the conference). Conference tracks, subject to approval, include:
- "Passport
and Maps" (content and knowledge management)
- "Exploring
the Countryside" (writing and editing)
- "Exploring
the Infrastructure" (technology and applications)
- "Understanding
the EURO" (localization and usability)
- "From Writing at Your Favorite Bistro to Teaching at the Sorbonne’" (your career)
With a great
deal of assistance from Bonni Graham and Kathryn Munn, our next conference
has been jump-started, and we’ll be putting the committee together
in short order. Those initially involved with the conference planning
will be contacted right away to see if they can still provide their expertise.
Of course, there’s always room for more victims, er, volunteers.
I also fully intend to use the Southern Nevada Chapter’s resources
to ensure this will be a stellar conference, keeping in the tradition
of Region 8.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to direct them to Bonni at . . . just kidding! You can contact me by e-mail at patrick.morrissey@idc-mcs.com. I’ll be presenting at Region 5 (Oaklahoma City) and Region 7 (Vancouver, British Columbia) so, if you’re attending either or both, please say "hello" in the appropriate regional accent.
Cheers!
Patrick,
thanks so much for taking this on! Cheers to the Southern Nevada Chapter
and the conference committee.
I hope to see all of you there in January.
If you're interested in volunteering to help with the conference at any level, contact Kathryn Munn at kathrynmunn@attbi.com or myself at bgraham@manuallabour.com. We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have and get you set up to move forward on the safest management opportunity you'll ever have!
