[LTER-commcom] LTER Communications Committee meeting, Thursday, Jan 14

[DiGregorio, Lina]

Dear Communications Committee

Please join us at our meeting tomorrow, January 14, 2pm EDT / 1pm CT / 12pm MT / 11am PT.
Zoom Meeting: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/647206479
Our agenda will be

  *   Discussion: plan for presentation to the Executive Board next week (Jan 21). General idea is to describe the function of the communications committee as a workshop space for network-wide or site-based communications efforts, and possibly talk about the Ecosphere project and AISL proposal. Marty has also suggested that we provide a brief history of the committee, since many of the current EB members are relatively new PIs.  We might also ask for suggestions on getting broader participation on the committee.
  *   Network Update. Marty Downs.
  *   Touch base on ideas and action items from last meeting: see email below.
  *   Possible workshopping idea: ways to make the Network more visibly cohesive for an external audience. For example: FCE and a few other sites have started implementing an RSS feed of Network news on their sites. (See the "news" section at the bottom of the FCE site<https://fcelter.fiu.edu/>.)

As always, feel free to extend this meeting invitation to anyone in the Network who might be interested in trying on the comm comm for size for a meeting or two.

See you soon. And sorry for the short notice.

I hope that you are all safe and healthy.

Hi Communications Committee

Thank you for our time and input at today's meeting. The minutes are at https://docs.google.com/document/d/12XVDYv94sZ1PZZRURGXoTLid4Z_6JAAh_8EaJkGLm4Q/edit

Action items from today's meeting:

  *   Peter is working with Michael Nelson on the piece for The Conversation. Input from others welcome
  *   Marty will send the press release to comm comm members, so we can work with media outlets at our home institutions (wait on release until Ecosphere papers are out)
  *   Peter will send press release to authors so they, too, can explore home institution media outlets.
  *   Sarah will connect with the education committee to list out related efforts, like datanuggets
  *   Marty will set up an Ecosphere papers webpage on the LTER site that will link to the ESA press release (when it comes out), data nuggets, other associated items
  *   Sarah will present the AISL proposal to the LTER EB in December
  *   The Comm Comm will present to the EB in January, after our Jan 14 comm comm meeting
  *   Marty will send out a link and login to the new LNO community platform, so comm comm members can try it and comment



Last, but not least, we bid a FOND farewell to Julie Doll, who announced today that she will be taking a new position with KBS.  Julie has been an invaluable, energetic member of the committee for years, driving efforts like the recent Ecosphere papers, the LTER calendar, and serving as committee chair.  We'll miss Julie's positive energy and clarity. Julie, we wish you success in your new role!



Best wishes to you all, and happy holidays.  We'll see you at our next meeting, January 14, 2021.
