JOYEUX PRINTEMPS TOUT LE MONDE! Here’s hoping that you have had an excellent academic term and that spring brings closure to your winter activities and excitement about new beginnings. In this newsletter, it is a pleasure to provide the following information and updates in preparation for our annual ACEAS/CASEA conference. The September, November and January newsletters, along with other ACEAS/CASEA documents and reports, can be located on the webpage www.casea.org.

Updates/les annonces:
- 2010 CASEA/ACEAS CONFERENCE: will be held May 28-June 1, 2010 during the CSSE/SCEE Annual Conference at Concordia University in Montréal. Please note: (1) The CSSE/SCEE Board of Directors made the decision in June 2009 to extend the 2010 Conference/Congrès based on the increase in number of pre-conference sessions other associations offer. Friday May 28, 2010will be a day devoted to pre-conference offerings. The 2010 4 day Conference/Congrès will run from Saturday May 29-Tuesday June 1. The conference theme is: Le savoir branché / Connected Understanding. See the following section of this newsletter and stay tuned for more information from Program co-chairs Bonnie Stelmach and Matthew Meyer regarding the 2010 CASEA/ACEAS Conference and program:
- Educational Administration Seminar (bilingual/bilingue) will be held Tuesday June 1, 2010. As you know, as part of our CASEA program each year we include a seminar where we invite scholars to come and lead us in a discussion about a topic or issue in Educational Administration. The topic for the 2010 Educational Administration Seminar will be “University-Based Leadership Centres: How and to what extent do they address the theory-practice divide?” The following colleagues have graciously agreed to lead us all in a debate and discussion focused on this topic and question: Kirk Anderson (New Brunswick), Paul Begley (Nipissing), Lyse Langlois (Laval), Paul Newton (Alberta), Patrick Renihan and Norman Dray (Saskatchewan). Contact me, Rosemary Foster, for more information.
- CASEA/ACEAS ELECTIONS: CONGRATULATIONS/FELICITATIONS to the newly elected CASEA/ACEAS 2010-2012 Executive members: Dawn Wallin (president), Bonnie Stelmach (1st vice-president), Ken Brien (2nd vice-president), Joseph Flessa (secretary-treasurer). Un grand merci to Claire Lapointe (présidente sortante) and her committee for organizing and conducting the elections this year.
- FEDERATION and SSHRC: There is a continued emphasis and assumption on the part of these national funding bodies that knowledge mobilization leads to social innovation. I received the following letter from our CSSE/SCEE President, Kathy Sanford. I would appreciate your
feedback and comments so that I might best represent you at the upcoming CSSE/SCEE Board of Directors Meeting to be held May 27, 2010 in Montreal.
Dear CSSE Board of Directors members:
As you know, SSHRC is revamping their structure and funding mechanisms in quite substantial ways. It is important that we think about the impact of these changes on CSSE members. Please review the document found at http://www.sshrc.ca/site/whatsnew-quoi_neuf/renewal-renouvellement-eng.aspx and if you have feedback or questions, send them to SSHRC. There are some unclear aspects of funding for Education (see pages 21-22 and 27-28 for explanation of the two Education committees and evaluation criteria).
We will address the changes at our May board meeting, but it is important to provide feedback to SSHRC in the next little while if we have concerns or recommendations.
Sincerely
Kathy Sanford
Contact information for the Executive Members and Committee Chairs can be found at the end of this newsletter.
On veut vous voir à Montréal!
