Co-Chairs' Corner
Hello to all you LatCritters. We hope you’ve had a fantastic summer! We’re thrilled to be writing this first Co-Chairs’ Corner for our newly revitalized E-Letter. As you may remember, we produced a few issues of this e-mail letter to the LatCrit community a few years back, but weren’t able to sustain that effort. Now, with board member Belkys Torres energetically taking the reins, the E-Letter has returned in a new and much more robust form. It will come out once a quarter, and will provide updates on upcoming LatCrit events, the progress of various LatCrit projects, and other matters of interest. We have every expectation that it will keep us all in touch with each other for years to come.
The big news from the co-chairs this quarter is the recent LatCrit Board and Friends Retreat, held in Colorado this past July. Approximately twenty people spent two and a half days discussing issues large and small, from how to accommodate the ever-increasing number of individuals submitting paper proposals for our annual conference to whether to expand our extremely successful Junior Faculty Development Workshop. Below is a list of some of the topics covered at the retreat:
• Financial Report – formalizing our short- and long-term budgeting process
• Governance – internal communications, web page improvements, developing a leadership pipeline
• Institution-building – fund-raising efforts, longterm planning, organizational structure
• Annual LatCrit Conference – coordination between onsite team & broader project team, size and structure, faculty development workshop, scholarship support to speakers without institutional backing, symposia issues, future conference locations
• Critical Global Classroom – reinstituting our groundbreaking summer school program focused on critical theory and social justice lawyering
Check out the various project team reports in this issue of the E-Letter for details on many of our exciting upcoming events and ventures.
