Reminder re membership

Hi all,

With the conference on the horizon, now is exactly the right time to renew your CASDW membership. A healthy membership helps us maintain visibility with external organizations such as Congress, and the funds support our work and, when we can make them stretch, graduate student travel.

Our new on-line system is so painless that you’ll want to pay over and over again just because it’s so easy. :-) Go to https://media6.magma.ca/www.leverus.com/casdw/

Cheers

Volunteer(s) needed for CASDW secretary

Hi all,

Anne Parker has announced that, after this year, she would prefer to pass the torch as secretary to someone else.

The duties are pretty basic:

– Attend each year’s AGM and keep notes
– Prepare minutes before the next AGM (preferably as early as possible when memories are fresh)
– Keep track of various reports (treasurer’s report and such)
– Participate in discussions of the executive as they arise throughout the year (always over e-mail)

If anyone would be willing to step forward, please let me know so we can announce it at this year’s AGM, and have a vote if there are several people clamouring for the job. :-)

Doug
