Call for Nominations
Centennial Scholars in Rhetoric & Public Address
Eastern Communication Association Centennial Meeting
Sheraton Society Hill, Philadelphia, PA, April 22-26, 2009
Nomination Deadline: October 10, 2008
It is time to nominate up to three Centennial Scholars in Rhetoric & Public Address for recognition at the 100th ECA meeting this April.
According to the ECA call for nominations, "A Centennial Scholar is someone who has made a significant and lasting impact on the discipline of communication, whose work has influenced other communication scholars, and who has (or had) a connection to the Eastern Communication Association."
Many of you suggested deserving scholars at the RPA business meeting in Pittsburgh. I ask that you formally nominate those scholars in an email to me (mwb@albany.edu). Please include a brief (paragraph) statement that explains why you believe that scholar should be recognized.
If our discussion in Pittsburgh is an indication, there should be a healthy variety of nominations and I expect we will need to vote. After receiving the nominations I will prepare a ballot to help us decide what scholars the interest group will recognize.
The nominees will be recognized at the 2009 convention and in a special Rhetoric & Public Address session.
Please forward your nominations by Friday, October 10, so that we have time to circulate a ballot and prepare nominations before the November 1 deadline.
