Program Committee Minutes -- Toronto/2003
January 25, 2003

Present: Jared Ingersoll (Columbia), Mischa Buczkowski (Oregon), Jackie Byrd (Indiana), Inna Gudanets (Stanford), Tim Larson (Indiana), Terri Miller (Michigan State), Sandra Levy (Chicago), Cathy Zeljak (George Washington)

2003 Program: Jared Ingersoll reported that plans have been finalized for the 2003 SEES Program, "The Square Peg Problem: Specialized Material in a Streamlined World". The speakers will be:

• Steve Corrsin (Wayne State University), who will speak on special language materials being processed in a streamlined (non-specialized) workflow
• Brad Schaffner (University of Kansas), who will speak on special language materials being processed in a specialized workflow
• Jim Neal (Columbia University), who will be the discussant

40th Anniversary Party: Sandra Levy reported that no ALA funding will be available for the event. Ideas for the celebration included:

• Organize a dinner and have everyone pay their own way. We would need rsvp's for making a reservation.
• Investigate vendor funding? We don't need to go through ALA for vendor funding.
• Would people be willing to pay for a SEES event?
• Could we have everyone meet at an historic bar, rather than planning a dinner?

It was decided that Sandra would plan for a dinner at a theme restaurant or at the Jacyk Centre at the University of Toronto. Invitations will be mailed using a 2nd set of labels SEES is given for the Newsletter. Invitations will also be sent via slavlibs and individually to past members. Sandra will seek vendor funding for the event. The event will be held on the evening of Saturday, June 21st, during the conference.
