I have been thinking more and more about the work of our committee, and am wondering if definition of a Scholar-Practitioner from the pending committee charter shouldn't be agreed upon and posted to the main website ASAP. I think this will help us further determine the need for and work of our subcommittees for the coming year, as well as help guide potential researchers with S-P work for this year's research proposal submissions for the 2008 conference. 

This may not be a bad idea for all the AHRD committees, as it will help all the committees, members, and potential members know more about what is happening within the organization. Though we as an organization and a field cannot even agree on a definition of HRD, I applaud AHRD for publishing (both to the membership and to the website) the AHRD Newsletter right there on the homepage. Nice communication work there!

Next step, interactivity among the membership and committees throughout the year using blogs, wikis, Moodle, Skype, etc. Nothing like proposing and supporting democratic involvement without having the only collaborative business done at the meeting during the annual conference!
