Burchfield, 2006-07 RIPS-SIS Chair
Greetings from Little Rock!
I hope this issue of the newsletter finds all of you well. It was wonderful to
see so many of you in St. Louis at the annual conference. Thanks to everyone
who worked to make our RIPS programs and activities successful. Special
thanks is due to our organizers, committee chairs, and program presenters. I
also thank all of you who attended programs; participated in the business
meeting, committee meetings, and roundtables; and spent time promoting
RIPS at our table in the exhibit hall. It is your participation that keeps RIPS
going strong!
I want to give special recognition to our Public Relations Committee Chair
Peggy McDermott for her dedication to promoting RIPS at CONELL and by
coordinating our table in the exhibit hall. Those of us in RIPS leadership over
the past several years have found Peggy to be unfailingly cheerful and
dependable. But the person to whom I owe the greatest thanks is Deanna
Barmakian, our immediate Past Chair. Though Deanna was unable to join us
in St. Louis, her careful planning set everything up to run smoothly and made
my job easy. Her good advice has been invaluable to me in the months since I
became Chair.
RIPS members have been busy since the annual meeting! I'll tell you about
just a few of the things that are going on:
The Program Committee hit the ground running, reviewing and sponsoring
eight programs. Three of these programs were selected by the AMPC for
2007. Thanks to everyone who submitted a program proposal, and thanks to
Program Committee Chair Irene Good and the committee members for their
work in vetting the programs and providing feedback to the proposers.
The Research Instruction Committee has begun enhancing and updating the
annotated legal research text bibliography. I am confident this will be a
valuable resource for legal research instructors. Thanks to Research
Instruction Chair Marc Silverman for heading up the continuation of this
project.
