Criteria for membership as sketched out below seems reasonable. It is better to have a broad, inclusive approach such as this so that we can all learn from each other. Sorry I was not able to attend. Has another date been set? Betsy -----Original Message----- From: Addiction Course Convenors on behalf of Rowdy Yates Sent: Tue 22/01/2008 18:21 To: [log in to unmask] Cc: Subject: Membership Criteria And one more thing... At the meeting in Brighton we had a brief discussion about list membership criteria but there were so few of us that I thought it had better come to the list membership for discussion. Based on our discussion yesterday and a few thoughts I had since, I'm suggesting the following criteria: Members will be academics in HE who offer courses in drugs, alcohol or the addictions generally Members may also be those who provide external-examiner services to such courses Members may also be those who provide substantial lecture input to such courses Members will not normally include those who provide more general/peripheral courses (eg. addiction counselling) Members will not normally include course providers or convenors from outside the UK. If people can suggest further criteria or alter the existing criteria, I would be most grateful. We also had a brief discussion about establishing a website to market our courses and we could include the criteria there. I'm happy to do a temporary one if people want to test the water before committing pennies.
