Call for Proposals

The Foodservice Educators Learning Community is pleased to announce its first call for proposals to be showcased at the First Annual Summit to be held in Charleston, South Carolina, February 26-28, 2009. The call for proposals is designed to give culinary arts and hospitality educators a chance to enrich our learning community and add to their vitae by proposing to do stand-up presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and poster sessions in either a refereed (double-blind peer review) or non-refereed track (reviewed openly by FELC panel and advisory board members). The goal of providing two review options is to provide an opportunity for anyone to make a presentation that will enhance the teaching quality of our learning community. For a full overview of the Summit please visit www.fooded.org

We are also pleased to announce a very innovative teaching competition that will be unlike any you have ever seen before at a culinary arts or hospitality education conference.

Both will be mailed out this week for you to read and respond by sending in a proposal to present a paper, poster, workshop, panel or compete in the teaching competition. The mailings will be by traditional post and e-mail blast so look for both in your basic or virtual mail box soon!
