Meeting Minutes and Updates
In response to a request from
IAB to update CICI website and make it more useful and
informative, WVU Statler College is currently in the process of
updating and maintaining this website.
The most recent IAB meeting in December 2020 addressed 3 items:
1) The participating IAB
members unanimously elected John Busel of ACMA as the IAB
Vice-Chair. John graciously accepted the position. The IAB Chair
announced John's election as IAB Vice-Chair in the general CICI
meeting held immediately following the IAB meeting.
Congratulations!
2) IAB members offered several recommendations to CICI sites,
including:
- CICI sites should provide a timetable for responding to the
recommendations made at the June 2020 IAB meeting.
- CICI should provide the IAB members with a list of all the IAB
members affiliated with each of the sites together with the
contact information (name, email address, office/cell numbers,
etc.) This will permit the IAB members to interact with each other
and support projects of mutual interest when appropriate.
- The projects presented by the sites need to be comprehensive to
enable the IAB members to clearly understand the scope/status of
the project and what the deliverables will be. While the sites are
doing good work, the presentations need the suggested
improvements.
- The websites of the CICI sites should provide project capsules
using a common template. The capsules can be password protected if
the sites so desire and, in which case, the passwords should be
provided to the IAB members.
- When launching a project, the sites are encouraged to discuss it
with the industry/trade associations if practical and possible to
enhance the implementation potential for the project outcomes
3) The pandemic has caused many difficulties in planning and
attending events due to everything being virtual.
The next IAB meeting date has not yet been determined but is
expected to be announced soon.
