[Src_execcmte] Summer hello

[Lindsey Morse]

Hello!  Hope this finds everyone enjoying their summer.  Thanks, Morgan,
for saying hello.  I wanted to check in and say hello back, but I also had
some some questions/thoughts (see below).

The international connections sound great - MIT organized a get-together
with a group from McGill's planning program who were visiting Boston this
spring and it was great to be able to talk planning with students from
another country.

Best. - Lindsey

PS I am assuming everyone is on this list serve.

1) This is a bit belated, but did I miss the reviewing of the Award Draft
Proposal?

1) Can we use the regional list-serves to introduce ourselves to all the
Chapter Presidents, etc.?  e.g., Region1 at list.planning.org (see
http://www.planning.org/leadership/general/listserveaddress.html)

2)  I don't know how updated the list is, but I think it would be great to
send out an email from the SRC Exec Committee to all student reps
(SRC_StuReps at list.planning.org) in late Aug/early Sept to introduce
ourselves, highlight some of the events in the upcoming year, and welcome
comments/ideas/questions.

3)  The New Planner - is there an update on this?  I know some schools
might just be more involved than mine, but I don't even quite understand
how submittals are made, etc., and from the website I get the impression
that the journal was on a 1-year hiatus.  Should I email the new editor,
Natalie Macris?  http://www.planning.org/thenewplanner/

4)  Outstanding student nomination - what is this?

5) What is the Young Planners Group?  (see
http://www.planning.org/leadership/committees/youngplanners.htm)

6) DC this fall: I have been checking the leadership website, so am
guessing there are no more updates other than what is there, but should we
start making plans soon?

International Mentorship/Intership program
