Greetings Debate Community!
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Dallas this weekend for the annual CEDA Summer Meeting, and for the 1st time, official CEDA Business Meeting. I authored an amendment in November to make the Summer Mtg. a Business Meeting, and the membership voted to do just that. As such, many items will be up for discussion and spirited debate no doubt over the course of the weekend. On Monday morning the official Business Mtg. will take place. Following the results a ballot will be mailed out by the Executive Secretary. Please keep an eye out as you may only be familiar with voting on the Topic in the summer.
The following agenda will serve as a working template. The summer meeting is designed to be fluid, conversational, and productive. I will work hard to see that happens. We have a talented group of people in the EC and I am positive the summer meeting will produce a wealth of great change for the organization!
If you cannot join us in Dallas, the meetings will be streamed over the internet courtesy of UT Dallas. We are also working to videotape the meetings and upload them to the web. This way you can follow the action prior to the business portion on Monday.
Assuming we can decide what to do with seating the delegates from Florida and Michigan, this is the proposed agenda (subject to tweaking).
See you in Dallas!
