Comment by Daniel Bassill 20 hours ago

The Chicago conference was attended by about 155 people. We'll archive speakers and workshops on the Tutor/Mentor Institute site so you can find them once we change the info on the conference site to reflect the May 2010 conference. If you attended the Chicago conference, I encourage you to post comments and feedback, and start follow up discussions, on this ning site.

Sue - I will keep you up-to-date with all the conference planning and see if we can do a webnar of sorts for you.
Also to anyone who is interested in helping plan the conference, we're having a planning meeting tomorrow, September 22nd at 2pm at Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection, 800 W. Huron, First Floor, Chicago, IL 60642.

Sue, there are many options, and they don't need to come from me in Chicago. The things we focus on at the conference are topics that others could push out from different places, via webnars. They can also be topics that get discussed in forums like this. Do you or any others in this forum have the capacity to host a live webnar during November?

Are there any options to attending the conference "virtually" by webcam?

Hi Everybody! The Tutor/Mentor Leadership and networking Conference is going to be Thursday and Friday November 19th and 20th at Norris University Center at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. We are currently putting together a November Conference Planning Committee and are hoping to meet the 2nd or 3rd week in September. Let me know if you would like to be a part of the conference planning committee and help make this the best conference yet!

I updated the conference home page based on some suggestions sent by Angel. We need to encourage those who are registering to present workshops and sit on panels to stay for the entire day, or half day so that they share what they know as part of other discussions.

The conference web site registration form and attendee list is now ready to be used. If you're planning to attend the conference, as a speaker, or participant, I encourage you to register.

We'll be adding new speakers to the roster over the coming weekend.

Since this conference is marketed by email networking, please begin to reach out to encourage people to sign up to attend.

Chris,
Congratulations on your new position! Let me look at my e-mail, sometimes things go into the spam box that shouldn't. Would you be willing to perhaps do a workshop on what the Chicago Housing Authority is doing to give youth better opportunities? I will shoot you an e-mail about this.

Congratulations Chris. I hope that in your role with the CHA you might encourage them to become a sponsor and supporter of the Conferences and the T/MC because of what we're doing to help tutor/mentor programs grow in high poverty areas of the city.
