MINUTES WIS STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING OF June 29, 1994
Members of the steering committee met in Room E228 of the Otowi Building.
Attending members were:
Denise George
Shirley Herrera
Jo Irwin
Deborah Kubicek
Karen Schultz Paige
Networking Seminar:
Talk of the talk, what worked, what did not, and suggestions for next
time. Karen wrote up a summary of the talk and will mail to Leslie
to be put into the next Newsletter. The board agreed that the speaker,
Rita Martinez-Purson, was great. It was suggested and agreed upon to
bring her back if possible for Expanding Your Horizons. Suggestions:
open up to more people next time (although we did have a good turn out),
possibly do again in 6 months (since many who wished to be there were
on vacation, etc), next time come a little earlier to set up.
Discussion of mailing lists:
The DHR has given permission to DeDe Collins, in association with the
NMNWSE, to get a list of all women at the laboratory. We will use this
list to mail out the Summer Picnic flier since this is our annual
recruitment event and need to reach as many as possible. For our membership,
Shirley created two up-to-date files. The first called inkjet to be used
for mailing fliers. The second called labels to be used for putting labels
on stuff to mail. Deborah currently has two disks: each with one of these
files on it. We should probably keep these disks and only let CIC-10
(Lorraine Ortega Rm 125 of the Canyon Complex - go through Rm 117 to get
there) get a copy when we actually mail things out. This way we will be
able to update info as needed and know what the current lists look like.
Summer Picnic:
Deborah and Shirley got together the day before to organize. So far,
here are the details: Set for Fri. July 29th from 5pm till dark at Urban
park. The fees will be $3/person, children under 12 free, and
$1/student/GRA/PostDoc. Shirley will call the Wellness Center for possible
equipment rental. The food will be hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, soda, and
a dessert. Supplies will be gotten the day before the picnic. We will do
tickets like we did for the Network talk (since that worked so well).
Trish is creating the flier to be mailed out next week Wed (July 6th).
The fliers will be mailed out to women who are TSM, TECH, SSM, PostDoc,
and technical contractors. Reply deadline will be Fri July 22. A reminder
about the reply deadline will be put into the next Newsletter. We will
have copies of the "membership survey" at the picnic for anyone interested
in joining the Women in Science for 1994-95 year. Karen will get a copy
of this to Deborah.
Updated membership information will be dealt with by a sub group consisting
of Shirley, Lois, Deborah, and Denise. We are hoping this system will be
in place by the end of September (before the next year begins). This will
allow future board members to access membership information when needed.
Note: And possibly allow access to the information by anyone (eg members).
The membership booklets were put together and mailed out to remaining of
membership that did not attend the Networking talk.
Deborah's test of the Voicemail mailbox worked great. All board members
received their message.
August talk:
Susan said she was unable to get a hold of Donna Giquenta (sp). She will
sent her a letter asking if she will speak in Aug. If unable to get a hold
of her, the board gave Susan permission to change the speaker or even
change the subject from Dependent Care to what she can find a speaker for.
A suggestion was made to have Alicia Lauritzen talk on Dream Analysis.
