regional confs

[cph@csusb.edu (Carol Haviland)]

A question about regional conf protocols.  After the PacCoast WCA in
Pullman, several of us agreed to host next year's conf at Cal State San
Bernardino.  We are excited about the conf, for Jackie Jones Royster has
agreed to speak, and we think that we can draw a number of local
participants along with our regional members and can involve a number of the
CSU and other campuses in our area.  What we are unsure about is the
procedures for setting a date, interacting with NWCA, etc.  For example, the
conf often is held the last week in Sept, which is impossible for  us whose
classes begin that week.  So, we'd like to advance the date at least until
Oct 16 but possibly Nov 6, which would be better for Jackie.  What are the
parameters we ought to observe?  Advice on dates?  Thanks.  Carol Haviland
