[acc-cca-l] Call for Local Area Coordinator, CCA at Congress 2019

[Tanner Mirrlees]

Dear CCA members and friends,



We hope you are having a pleasant summer.



Mary Francoli (the CCA's new President) and Tanner Mirrlees (the CCA's new Vice-President) need your help!



We are searching for a B.C.-based local area coordinator (LAC) for the CCA's annual conference at Congress 2019 (to be held at UBC's Vancouver campus).



Ideally, the local area coordinator will be a professor, teacher, instructor, researcher or graduate student in a communication and media studies-relevant field who lives close to UBC's Vancouver campus.



The role of the local area coordinator is threefold:



1)         To liaison with Mary and Tanner as we build the conference (we live in Ontario, and so are at a distance from B.C.)

2)         To attend a Congress Planning Meeting at UBC Point Grey Campus on September 26, 2018.

3)         To complete a few logistical tasks, such as scoping out and booking UBC classrooms for CCA conference sessions.



The local area coordinator role is integral to planning the CCA's annual conference, a good opportunity to support the CCA, and a positive way to meet communication and media studies colleagues.



If you are interested in working with us as the CCA's local area coordinator for Congress 2019, please send a message directly to Tanner Mirrlees (tanner.mirrlees at uoit.ca) and Mary Francoli (maryfrancoli at cunet.carleton.ca) no later than Friday September 7th.



We hope to hear from you soon!



Best wishes,



Tanner and Mary
