Final Reminder - September SLATE Meeting

This is the final reminder that our next monthly SLATE meeting will be held on Friday, September 24 hosted by Goshen College. Please note that this meeting starts at 12:00pm EDT (Goshen is one hour ahead of Chicago) so plan accordingly. The SLATE Summit has given us the opportunity to talk about the direction of SLATE and serves as our planning and strategy meeting with regards to the activities, events, and meetings for the following year. We discuss major concerns that we are facing as individual institutions and how/if, as a group those concerns can be addressed. If you still have items that you would like to discuss or agenda items you would like to see included please forward those to me as soon as possible.

At this meeting we also take a little time to have some fun. Floyd Saner of Goshen College is always a gracious host and arranges for us a truly wonderful experience which includes an Amish dinner (after the meeting) while taking on the additional roles of tour guide and resident expert for the weekend activities. Some people choose to bring their families and stay overnight on Friday and enjoy the Amish countryside on Saturday as well. General information about the meeting, scheduled events for Friday and Saturday, directions to Goshen, lodging, and things to do can be found on the Summit web page at lrncon.com/slatesummit.

Please note that you MUST REGISTER in advance for this meeting using the online form at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/slatesummit and indicating what events you will participate in. Seating for dinner is limited so the sooner you register the better. A final count is needed by Monday, September 20. So just use the form http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/slatesummit and Floyd will take care of the rest. And remember, spouses, significant others, friends, and guests are more than welcome to the meeting, dinner and all other activities.

If you have any questions please let me know. This meeting has become a SLATE tradition and a great way to kick-off the new school year. Hope to see you there.
