New Committee: ASCH Conference

On Thursday, February 28, 2008, the Board met and created the ASCH Conference Committee. The official brief of the committee is:

ASCH Conference Committee. Up to 5 members. Stands for two years, from conference to conference. Chair is appointed by incoming president elected in even-numbered years. The new appointee joins the current committee as a regular member until the upcoming conference ends, then assumes the chair for the following conference. The chair is the Guild's Conference Liaison; the committee will be responsible for the Guild booth, for keeping the Guild apprised of all upcoming deadlines, for coordinating members’ submissions for judging (including pre-submission jurying), and all other Guild activities pertaining to the upcoming conference.

As you can see, the Board decided to let this committee stand for two years, from conference to conference. It's a permanent committee, which will be asked for a report every month along with the other committees. Janel Laidman is its first chair.
