Updates for CaVraCon 2013

The planning committee for CaVraCon has some news to share on developments for our conference at Sonoma State University, June 27-28, 2013.

Proposals are still being accepted for sessions, workshops, case studies and other program formats on a variety of topics. Our current list of presenters include Gaiwan Weaver, Ben Wood, and Jeff Sedlik. To submit a proposal, please complete the form attached to this email and submit to Abby Dansiger at adansiger@academyart.edu by February 28, 2013. The application can also be downloaded from the CaVraCon website here. Presenters will receive free registration for the conference.

The CaVraCon website has been updated to provide information on accommodations for the conference. We are recommending that attendees book rooms early as there is a parent orientation at Sonoma State University during the same dates. The Double Tree and Best Western both offer discounted rates when reservations are made early, as well as other discounts for AAA members and government employees. Please visit the CaVraCon website here for further information.

Please also complete the survey below to help us to estimate how many people will be attending CaVraCon. 

Membership Grant Award - update

Due to the lack of applications, we will not be awarding a membership grant for this year. We would like to take a vote on how to proceed with this money, primarily in asking if members are agreeable to it being put towards the expenses for CaVraCon this summer. Please complete the anonymous survey below to let the planning committee know your decision by January 16, 2013.
