S.D.E.A. Bargaining Conference
COHE Reminder
 
January 29 - 30, Pierre
Greetings!
 
I know that several of you are still considering whether to attend the SDEA Bargaining Conference this weekend in Pierre (January 29 - 30).  I strongly urge you to attend!  There is still time to register at www.sdea.org.  However, you will need to book your own hotel room.  As of late last week, the conference hotel still had a few rooms: Best Western Ramkota Hotel in Pierre (605) 224-6877.  Either way, COHE will pay for your expenses.

Events begin formally at 8:00 p.m., Friday with two informative brief sessions on how to use the IDEA form properly and a discussion of IP rights.  Also on Friday, we have a meeting with Jack Warner at 4:00 p.m. in the SDEA Building in Pierre. (Please note the time change from my earlier announcement.)    On Saturday, we have a full schedule of breakouts, including two sessions specifically aimed at higher ed participants.

Finally, if you would like to carpool, please respond to this message.  I understand we have several members from the Brookings area attending.  It only makes sense to carpool, if we can arrange it.

Your brother in defense of faculty rights,
Gary Aguiar
