 <\/p>\n

1. Roll Call<\/strong> \u2013 Eliza Spaulding took roll.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Minutes Approval<\/strong> (Molly) \u2013 December meeting minutes were approved.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Welcome Abby Aldrich, our new Co-Chair of Professional Education and Training<\/strong> (Molly) \u2013 Replacing Amber Kerr-Allison, will serve until the 2013 AIC annual meeting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. AIC 2012 Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n

a. ECPN Informational Meeting<\/strong> (Molly) \u2013 Informational meeting, open to all attendees, Tue. May 8 from 5-6 pm.\u00a0 Same day as workshops and tours.\u00a0 Eliza and Molly will organize it and print the agenda.\u00a0 Hoping committee members, board and staff liaisons will all be there.\u00a0 Can begin discussing how to promote these events.\u00a0 Tue. May 8 following the meeting, 6 pm, the Happy Hour will begin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

b. ECPN Happy Hour<\/strong> (Megan) \u2013 Bar in the Hyatt, hoping for about 30-35 people.\u00a0 They can accommodate up to 50 people.\u00a0 There is a rooftop bar\/nightclub in a neighboring hotel, with a Tue. night movie event, so it was not a good fit.\u00a0 Not as conducive to conversations.\u00a0 Other nearby venues were also nightclubs.\u00a0 Bar in the Hyatt was the best choice.\u00a0 May also get more people being located in the conference hotel.\u00a0 Ruth will help, and liaise with the hotel so they are aware that this event is part of the AIC Annual Meeting.\u00a0 As point person, Ruth can also help to determine the best location, because she will be visiting the venue before the meeting.\u00a0 Happy Hour and time can be promoted in advance, even if venue is not final.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

c. Portfolio Session<\/strong> (Carrie) \u2013 Invitation to program leaders went out last Friday.\u00a0 One student already responded.\u00a0 Carrie is informing interested students of the times for the session, and after all responses gathered, will discuss how to follow up.\u00a0 Thursday break, 10 a.m., and lunch in Exhibit Hall from noon to 1 p.m., and then a break at 4 p.m.\u00a0 The portfolio sessions will be during the Thursday breaks.\u00a0 This also overlaps with the poster session at 4 p.m. and pulls traffic out of the Exhibit Hall, which is Ruth\u2019s concern.\u00a0 In the future, overlapping with just one break would be better.\u00a0 At least, do not have the portfolio session over the lunch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

d. ECPN Poster<\/strong> (Carrie) \u2013 Over the past month, the poster working group has been brainstorming and gathering volunteer contributions.\u00a0 There have been posts to the blog, Facebook, and CIPP, to solicit input for case studies.\u00a0 Mid-February date to get back to people.\u00a0 Working group will discuss follow-up in the coming week or two.\u00a0 Want to have a broad range of outreach examples for the poster.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

e. Promotion of AIC Events<\/strong> (Molly and Ruth) \u2013 Promote after early rate closes for registration.\u00a0 The website is still in transition, so will place this content into the new website.\u00a0 ECPN could start promoting events on Facebook and the blog.\u00a0 Content could be written and sent to Ruth and Ryan for promotional purposes.\u00a0 Amy, Anisha, and Megan can assist.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Mentorship Program Update<\/strong> (Ryan and Eliza) \u2013 Eliza, Ryan, Stephanie, and Molly discussed the timeline on a conference call.\u00a0 Ryan has reached out to current applicants, and many still interested in being matched.\u00a0 Ryan sent a follow-up survey to identify the specific projects the mentors and mentees are interested in.\u00a0 That will create more targeted goals and improved matches.\u00a0 Responses still coming in.\u00a0 Will review that information early next week, and make matches.\u00a0 Will continue to revise the program and roll out the revised program at this year\u2019s AIC meeting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Regional Liaisons Update<\/strong> (Megan and Anisha) \u2013 Have contacted potential liaisons and many have responded with interest. About a dozen (list is on the writeboard in Basecamp).\u00a0 Anisha is working on a blog post to announce new ones, and put out a call for more volunteers.\u00a0 Kick-off call sometime in February.\u00a0 Will do a Doodle poll to find a time that works for everyone.\u00a0 Give them a platform to share ideas, think about events and how to promote them, and have more experienced liaisons share tips and experiences.\u00a0 Calls will be quarterly.\u00a0 Will keep encouraging them to be involved.\u00a0 Would love to have people post photos, announcements, etc. on the Facebook page, to let the network know.\u00a0 Promote professional development opportunities across the country, and activities of allied groups.\u00a0 Molly asked that Megan and Anisha copy Ruth, Ryan, Stephanie, Molly, and others on the ECPN committee to see if they want to be involved in the Regional Liaison calls as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. ANAGPIC 2012<\/strong> (Eliza) \u2013 Eliza reached out to NYU.\u00a0 It will be April 12-14.\u00a0 Eliza asked Michele Marincola for a 10-minute presentation by ECPN.\u00a0 Professor Marincola indicated that the program was very full already, but she would look for other windows for a presentation.\u00a0 Eliza responded that a 5-minute talk would work, or an alternative could be a handout or flier to be included with the conference material.\u00a0 Amy indicated that she did a flier for last year\u2019s ANAGPIC.\u00a0 Can be updated for this year.\u00a0 This can be discussed on our next call.\u00a0 Molly indicated that adding the events scheduled for the annual meeting would be great.\u00a0 Genevieve mentioned that hearing Ryan talk about ECPN at last year\u2019s ANAGPIC was valuable, and so was the flier. The idea of a poster was discussed but then dismissed, thinking that it wasn\u2019t a good fit with the rest of the posters at ANAGPIC, which often focus on student research.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Student research database<\/strong> (Carrie) \u2013 Questionnaire was developed to get feedback on the concept, and gauge interest in and commitment to the project.\u00a0 Questionnaire to seven programs.\u00a0 Have gotten some critical feedback from three of the programs so far.\u00a0 Need to see if remaining programs intend to answer the questionnaire, or intend to support the project.\u00a0 Waiting for NYU, Buffalo, Penn, and University of Texas.\u00a0 Busy time during applications, but important to gauge their interest.\u00a0 Carrie asked if anyone could inquire with their program leader.\u00a0 Megan will speak to Buffalo.\u00a0 Rebecca can speak to Michele at NYU.\u00a0 Molly will contact UPenn and UT. Carrie will provide all with a few summary questions to ask the programs.\u00a0 Working group will schedule a call to discuss all feedback, after giving it a week to see if the summary questions can be answered.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Forum call survey<\/strong> (Amy and Ryan) \u2013 The idea is to hold quarterly Forum Calls where the wider ECPN network is invited to call in and participate in a discussion on a specific topic of interest.\u00a0 The monthly calls, by contrast, are mostly focused on committee business, and despite the open call-in policy, it is rare to have new people calling in. A survey was developed to gauge interest in the idea, as well as ask the network to rate possible topics and scheduling options.\u00a0 It will be sent out soon, perhaps this week, pending Ryan checking with Ruth on the e-blast schedule.\u00a0 It will go to the ECPN interest list.\u00a0 The email can be forwarded on to other emerging conservators.\u00a0 Encourage people in the wider network to fill this out.\u00a0 Would like to get feedback from membership before organizing topics.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Canadian Association for Conservation’s Emerging Conservators Committee <\/strong>(CAC-ECC): introductions and discussion of future collaboration (Stephanie Porto, Amber Harwood (Queens liaison and regional representative for CAC), Meaghan Monaghan (Co-Chair)) \u2013 Communicated with the program students at ANAGPIC last year with a poster and are contributing to the ECPN blog.\u00a0 Want to let program students know that this group is active in Canada.\u00a0 Will continue posting to the blog, and also looking for more ways to collaborate.\u00a0 Perhaps have emerging conservators interview established conservators, and include the interview in the CAC Bulletin.\u00a0 However, it\u2019s only available to members.\u00a0 Perhaps post them online also, as ECPN blog posts.\u00a0 Amber is hoping to talk about the group at ANAGPIC, and will reach out to Eliza and NYU.\u00a0 There will be a student poster session, but focused on research, so perhaps a flier or short talk, as ECPN was hoping to do.\u00a0 Eliza will coordinate with Stephanie and Amber about promoting ECPN and CAC-ECC at ANAGPIC.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

11. Committee positions turning over and extending<\/strong> \u2013 Communications Coordinator, Amy\u2019s position, is turning over at the annual meeting.\u00a0 She has served in the role since September of 2010.\u00a0 This vacancy will be announced in the March AIC News, and March 1 on the blog and Facebook page.\u00a0 Application deadline will be first week of April.\u00a0 New officer would be announced at annual meeting, and the new officer\u2019s term would begin just after that.\u00a0 Eliza, Anisha, and Megan will extend to 2013.\u00a0 Eliza will be Chair for a year after 2013.\u00a0 This was done to bring ECPN officer terms in line with what is done on other AIC committees, which have positions that turn over at the AIC meeting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

12. Schedule date\/time for next call<\/strong> \u2013 Tuesday, February 21, 1 p.m.\u00a0 The call will be pushed from the usual Monday due to Presidents\u2019 Day.\u00a0 Amy cannot attend.\u00a0 Eliza will take minutes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

13. Wiki Edit-a-Thon <\/strong>\u2013 Ending tomorrow.\u00a0 Will discuss ECPN involvement on next call.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next call: Tuesday, February 21, at 1 pm ET.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Respectfully submitted,<\/p>\n
