[asiacouncil] Workshop Proposal

[Eric Kendrick]

Asia Council colleagues:

I think the proposal by Paul and Jonathan is indeed timely, and would be a great kick-off for a new theme-based approach to our annual workshops.  As such, I withdraw the Science & Technology theme for consideration for 2018, and will submit it at a later time.  If we were to hold the workshop at Perimeter College - Clarkston Campus, as we have several times in the past, we might even find a way to tap into the Rohingya community in Clarkston, which is one of the primary refugee resettlement areas in the U.S.

Good Morning:



Attached is a workshop proposal from Paul Rodell & Jonathan Leightner.  Please review this along with the earlier proposal from Eric.



I've received a number of emails from Asia Council members who will not be able to attend the meeting on the 25th.  It may be necessary to look at an alternative way to evaluate and select proposals if we don't have enough institutions to reach a decision.  We can address this at the meeting or discuss via email in advance.   Any suggestions?







Sincerely,



David

Hello David,
          Attached please find Jonathan Leightner and my response to your appeal for workshop proposals. We have put some time and thought into this and believe that it will be a solid beginning for a series of thematic workshops on Asia.
     Paul Rodell
