> .htm
> FAICP Nominating Committee
> Mike McAnelly and Phil Clark volunteered to coordinate an FAICP
> Nominating Committee.
> Fellows Induction Ceremony
> The Fellows discussed possible modifications to the induction
> ceremony. Some thoughts expressed were that the San Antonio 2006
> ceremony was too short and not honorary enough. Ideas that were
> proposed included having the Selection Committee pick one member to
> make a speech; lengthen the written program and include 50-word
> statements; include personal data; web postings expanded; include
> graphics/powerpoint highlighting career achievements; posters about
> each new Fellow; let the event feel like the Academy Awards with
> procession and music. There was some discussion about expanding the
> memorial of deceased Fellows. Ideas about a potential speaker for the
> ceremony: invite someone special, but not a new Fellow. Do not use
> powerpoint.
> Recognition of Fellows
> Greater promotion of the College of Fellows and the induction ceremony
> (e.g. Planning magazine, Fellows ribbons at conference). A special
> Fellows table at the awards luncheon. 
> Fellows giving back
> Examples of best practices from Fellows. Fellows taking responsibility
> for university outreach, mentoring, ethics education, role in and
> contribution to the Planning Foundation. At the local level: Planner
> in residence at university for a few days; lobbying (e.g. OR).
