The 2010 CCUBC Annual Meeting will be held in Ottawa, Ontario, hosted by Drs. Paul Marino, CCUBC President and Iain Lambert, Carleton University and CCUBC Secretary/Treasurer.




Dear Biology Heads and Chairs:


The planning for this year's CCUBC annual meeting is progressing well, and we are anticipating an excellent program. Each fall the CCUBC organizes an annual meeting for its membership in which we hold formal workshops and informal discussions with colleagues from across Canada. The range of topics that we cover includes: curriculum development, personnel management, interactions with higher administration and granting council funding. One of the highlights of the meetings are the “5 minute reports’ presented by each Head or Chair that highlight common issues, trends and innovative programmatic developments. The annual meeting provides an excellent opportunity for Biology Heads and Chairs to learn from each other’s experiences and have certainly been of great help to me as I have worked over the past 6 years with my colleagues in Biology at Memorial University to make our Department a better Department. The annual meeting is a valuable learning opportunity and I encourage you to join us from November 11 - 13, 2010, at the Lord Elgin Hotel, Ottawa, ON.

I also encourage you to submit nominations for the three awards presented annually by CCUBC, including: Please check out the terms of reference and nomination procedures for these awards on our website http://www.ccubc.ca/awards.html. The nomination procedures are quite simple. Please submit your nominations by October 1st, 2010.

I look forward to our meeting this year and encourage members to rejoin and, for those who are not yet members, to join CCUBC and participate in this year’s annual meeting in Ottawa.

Sincerely,
Paul Marino, President
