TYCA Breakfast
The TYCA breakfast was a fabulous event.
With aplomb and grace, breakfast chair Jane Wagoner shepherded the event from the planning stages through the presentations of awards. She is the adept at organizing events, and she is always a strong member of any team. TYCA –Midwest provided centerpieces, and members helped with the finishing preparations. They even arrived extra early to help with set up and taking tickets. The breakfast starts at 7:00am, so this is really saying something!
Once again, this was an event not to be missed. There were about 200 people present in the Red Lacquer room at the Palmer House Hilton. We shared an amazing space – think posh, and then add to that image – wonderful conversation and the chance to recognize the winners of the Diana Hacker TYCA Outstanding Program Awards . I will link to the complete list when it is up on the TYCA web pages later this week. We celebrated Howard Tinberg’s work. He just completed his five year term as TETYC editor. Jeff Sommers is the new editor, so be sure to send submissions to him. ( http://www.ncte.org/pubs/journals/tetyc )
Sterling Warner, chair of the TYCA Public Image Committee, had wonderful news. For the first year, the committee did not award a “shame” award. This is usually reserved for especially egregious, incorrect or just plain shameful representations of two-year colleges in the public sphere. We all have our fingers crossed that we will not have a shame award next year, too.
I’ll write more once I’m back home in Washington.
