Southern California ACE Network
Regional News
Greetings!
My name is Dilcie Perez and I am the new ACE Southern California Regional Coordinator. I know it has been a few months since you have last heard from the Network, but please know that Maya and I have been working hard to develop new initiatives to strengthen our Network and increase the amount of participation across our region. Please take a few moments to read the following important updates:
New contact information:
Email address: We have established a Network email address: socalnetwork@csusm.edu We hope that you will use this address to communicate with us. This mailbox will be checked daily.
Website address:
Our Presidential Sponsor has offered to host our website on her page. It can be found at: www.csusm.edu/owhe
Telephone number:
We have a new telephone number: (760) 750-4973.
ListServ:
As a way to build community and share information, we have established a list serv. We encourage you and your campus participants to sign up at: http://coyote.csusm.edu/mailman/listinfo/socalnetwork
Survey:
Your opinion matters! We have created a survey to gather feedback to support our strategic planning and future endeavors. Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey and let us know your thoughts about your role as an Institutional Representative, your experience with past events, and any suggestions for future initiatives. Our hope is to have a variety of responses, so please send us the email addresses or distribution list of any women you think might be interested in participating in the survey. The survey will be distributed on Friday, January 16th and will close on February 2nd.
Webinars:
As California continues to feel the effects of our current budget crisis, many campuses are "tightening" their checkbooks and limiting, if not eliminating, travel and professional development. In response to this, a small team has worked diligently to develop a webinar series for Spring 2009. Each webinar will be 1 hour in length and provide a 20 minute presentation and 30 minute discussion. Our first webinar will be on January 29th. Please check the Meeting Information webpage for more information.
IR Meeting:
The purpose of this meeting is to review the survey results, clarify roles and expectations, and develop a strategic plan for our Network. We are currently planning a date for this event.
Thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome to the Network. I look forward to working with each of you.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact Maya Alvarez or myself at (760) 750-4973.
