Help form the Network awards committee

The Network Executive Committee would like to explore presenting an organizational award or awards at the Summit in 2010.  This is a prime leadership opportunity for someone who wants to help create a new, prestigious award.  What behavior do we want to encourage in our membership? What does it mean to be an outstanding member of the Minnesota Network of Latinos in Higher Education?  Should we award individuals or institutions?  We want someone who is interested in framing the award criteria and working with the Executive Committee on the process of selecting initial recipient(s).   Do any of you want to get involved in getting this vision off the ground? Contact communications@mnlatinosinhighered.org.

Network momentum

From the desk of Frank Hernandez, Network President for 2010

As the new president of The Minnesota Network of Latinos in Higher Education (MNLHE), I am pleased to announce that the new executive committee has met and have set forth an ambitious agenda for this coming year.  Our focus will be on supporting our members by improving three areas of the network.

First, we are committed to improving the annual Summit of the network. Based on the feedback from the 2009 Summit attendees, we are already identifying ways to increase attendance, improve communication, double our institutional memberships, invite more state and national scholars to attend, and provide more time for regions to set goals based on their regional needs.  Be sure to visit this Website and facebook page to learn which institution will be hosting the annual summit 2010!
