    \n
  1. Roll call<\/strong> — Molly took roll.<\/li>\n
  2. Officer update <\/strong>\u2013 (Molly) Abby Aldrich decided that she will have to step down from her position as co-Professional Education and Training. Gwen will take over her responsibilities, and the committee is happy to welcome Gwen in her new role as co-Professional Education and Training.<\/li>\n
  3. Minutes Approval <\/strong>(Molly) \u2013 March meeting minutes were approved.<\/li>\n
  4. ANAGPIC <\/strong>(Molly, Megan) \u2013 Presentation and fliers were a great success.\u00a0 Megan felt her presentation went well, and she was approached by a few people (including Jennifer Morton, and others) who wanted to become involved.\u00a0 Joyce Hill-Stoner was interested in coordinating with the interview series to bring those interviews into the oral history project.\u00a0 Amber will follow up with her.\u00a0 Megan felt the presentation at ANAGPIC was a great way to share news of our initiatives (ECPN and ECC), which were well received and raised awareness.\u00a0 Columbia, Penn, and UT-Austin were having architecture student events this month, and the ECPN flier was distributed.\u00a0 Will follow up with Avigail to see how it was received.<\/li>\n
  5. Network Guidelines <\/strong>(Molly) \u2013 CCN and ECPN are now designated networks, as opposed to specialty groups or committees.\u00a0 New guidelines are being drafted by the Board to describe how the networks function.\u00a0 As Stephanie indicated, it will not change how ECPN has operated.\u00a0 ECPN was the first network, so when the Collections Care Network (CCN) approached the Board about becoming a network, the Board began to consider what makes the networks unique.\u00a0 This is a positive development based on the success of ECPN.\u00a0 Networks are wide-reaching groups meant to reach out to conservators in all specialties, and have a broader scope, and fewer limitations versus specialty groups and committees.\u00a0 AIC is working to put in writing how the networks function, to formalize the category, and this is why the current operations of ECPN will not be affected by the guidelines.<\/li>\n
  6. AIC Annual Meeting Poster <\/strong>(Megan, Carrie, Amy) <\/strong>\u2013 Megan is producing the actual poster layout and the latest round is looking very strong.\u00a0 Carrie polled the group about how to handle the companion blog post.\u00a0 Feature each interview as a post?\u00a0 Or condense into a question with multiple answers?\u00a0 Amy suggested an \u201coverview\u201d blog post with links to the individual interview blog posts.\u00a0 Carrie added that there could also be links there to getting started with social media and other tools.\u00a0 Thanks to those who solicited content for the poster.\u00a0 Molly and Amy volunteered to help with copy-editing the individual blog posts.\u00a0 Amy\u2019s flier will have two parts: highlights of the poster sections, and notes on how to get started with outreach initiatives.\u00a0 Amy will have the poster produced at FedEx Office in Albuquerque and pick it up.\u00a0 She will pay personally and submit a reimbursement form to AIC.\u00a0 Ryan will send her the reimbursement form.\u00a0 For the Poster Session (4-4:30 Thursday) Megan and Eliza are free to pitch in as needed, and Amy and Carrie are free to be at the poster, or tag-team.<\/li>\n
  7. Portfolio Session<\/strong> (Carrie) \u2013 Have the location, a list of presenters, and several established conservators participating also.\u00a0 Took names last year as people arrived in the room, so they could be polled later.\u00a0 That was very valuable.\u00a0 There was a mix of conservators at all levels last year, so it was an educational and networking opportunity for all levels.\u00a0 Carrie felt that there should be a notebook and someone standing with it, to encourage people to \u2018sign-in.\u2019 \u00a0Gwen volunteered to do \u2018check-in\u2019 as well as sit with her portfolio.\u00a0\u00a0 Molly offered to support Gwen at check-in, or Gwen could be a back-up to Molly.\u00a0 Ryan suggested checking off names on the printed Attendee List, which requires less information to be collected.\u00a0 Email addresses can be married to the checked-off names later on. All agreed this was the best check-in approach.\u00a0 Anisha will post the location to the Facebook event and send a reminder a week in advance.<\/li>\n
  8. Informational Meeting <\/strong>(Molly) \u2013 Have a chance to introduce people, to put faces with names.\u00a0 Have a sign-in sheet to collect information.\u00a0 Provide an overview of activities going on at the meeting, and ongoing projects, and opening the floor for discussion\/feedback.\u00a0 Last year was run much like a monthly call \u2013 each officer spoke about their initiatives.\u00a0 The Chair, Rose Cull, did an introduction.\u00a0 Very popular session last year \u2013 ran out of chairs.\u00a0 Provide copies of the ECPN flier as a handout?\u00a0 Print an agenda?\u00a0 Ryan remembered that there was no printed agenda last year.\u00a0 It was thought it would be a committee business meeting, but the officers kept it more general when the large turnout was observed.\u00a0 Eliza felt that feedback was critical and asked about last year\u2019s session.\u00a0 Amy recalled the post-meeting survey generated the most feedback, rather than the Q&A at the informational session.\u00a0 Perhaps a written survey to have in the room?\u00a0 Or break out into smaller groups?\u00a0 It will help that the Happy Hour is right afterward.\u00a0 Molly asked Anisha to update the Facebook event with room location and post a reminder a week in advance.\u00a0 Ryan will email the room name to Anisha.<\/li>\n
  9. Happy Hour <\/strong>(Megan, Anisha) \u2013 Will be held at Marble Brewery, a short distance from the Hyatt, from 6-10 pm, immediately following the informational meeting.\u00a0 Have a reservation and the group is expected to be 20+ people.\u00a0 Molly suggested a confirmation a week in advance.\u00a0 Anisha will follow up with the restaurant. <\/strong>Molly asked Anisha to update the Facebook event with room location and post a reminder a week in advance.<\/li>\n
  10. Angels Project<\/strong> (Molly) \u2013 Sandoval County Historical Society Angels Project is also on Tuesday (8:30 \u2013 2 pm or 4 pm) with provided transportation.\u00a0 There are still openings \u2013 contact Molly or visit the website to sign up.\u00a0 Will not conflict with the informational meeting for ECPN, if anyone is interested in attending both.<\/li>\n
  11. Liaison Updates<\/strong>\n
      \n
    1. There will be an upcoming article in AIC News<\/em> on Sustainable Practices.<\/li>\n
    2. Emergency Committee is sponsoring a workshop on Tuesday, 9 am to noon, and it will be a Disaster Response Workshop (CERT member \u2013 free; otherwise $79).\u00a0 Experts from FEMA on hand, and others.\u00a0 Posted on the website and circulated on the ECPN website.<\/li>\n
    3. Objects Group will not be having a meeting with archaeological materials this year.<\/li>\n
    4. CCN is still looking for volunteers for notetakers on May 9 \u2018Outreach to Allies\u2019 session.\u00a0 Molly will pass along any volunteer names to Joelle Wickens, CCN Chair.<\/li>\n
    5. WAG is adding a new advisory committee (if approved) and will include an emerging conservator, to broaden officer structure and provide a mentoring opportunity.\u00a0 Focus on wooden artifacts preferred (panel paintings, furniture, etc. \u2013 as long as primary membership is in WAG).\u00a0 To suggest someone, contact Molly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    6. Forum Calls<\/strong> (Molly) \u2013 Updates to come.\u00a0 Check Writeboards on Basecamp for more information on how topic selection and technology selection are developing.<\/li>\n
    7. Mentoring Program<\/strong> (Eliza) \u2013 Finished reviewing applicants and matched 13 of 20 applicants.\u00a0 Ryan will reach out to them this week.\u00a0 Reached out to all specialty groups to ask for assistance to promote a call for mentors for the remaining 7 applicants.\u00a0 The goal is to match all 20 applicants by the annual meeting, so they can connect with their new mentors at the meeting.\u00a0 Mentoring program Toolkit is nearly complete, and a protocol based on the recent process will make the next cycle run smoothly.<\/li>\n
    8. Student Research Platform<\/strong> (Carrie) \u2013 New term \u201cplatform\u201d instead of \u201cdatabase.\u201d\u00a0 Will work with Eliza to look at the range of platforms that have been considered (AATA, AIC website, CoOL), and keep working on new, revised proposal.\u00a0 Sections in development include description, target audiences, features (searchability, etc), maintenance needs, cost estimate, etc.\u00a0 Carrie will work with all in the working group, and with Gwen, to develop the proposal.\u00a0 No deadline for the proposal yet, from Eryl, but Molly suggested we set a date for sometime after the AIC annual meeting, perhaps the end of May.\u00a0 Need to check in with Eryl to see if that is a good timeframe.\u00a0 Want to keep the momentum going.<\/li>\n
    9. PR Toolkit<\/strong> (Molly) \u2013 Working on the Wiki to develop content for the toolkit.\u00a0 Some of the discussion section has working sections, which will be migrated to the main page before the annual meeting.\u00a0 There will be a flier to announce the project in the conference bag (Ryan is working on this), and the project will be discussed with the membership at the annual meeting on Friday, from 4-5 pm, at the \u201cNext steps\u201d session, to describe the project and also to solicit content.<\/li>\n
    10. ECC<\/strong> (Amber) \u2013 Thanks to everyone for collaborating on the flier and session at ANAGPIC.\u00a0 ECC looks forward to future collaborations.\u00a0 ECPN (Molly) extended our thanks to ECC for all their efforts as well.\u00a0 CAC has a monthly conference call, but ECC does not.\u00a0 Molly indicated that someone from ECPN could participate in ECC calls, when they begin.\u00a0 More collaboration and cross-linking could be done via Facebook and the blogs.<\/li>\n
    11. Next Call<\/strong> (Molly) \u2013 Molly suggested skipping the May call since the officers will meet at the Annual Meeting.\u00a0 The next call would be June 18.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Next call: June 18, 2012 at 1pm ET<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Respectfully submitted,<\/p>\n
