[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: RHoF Membership

Sun Sep 18 06:50:18 BST 2016

Hi all
I am an ‘international’ and also happy for the term not to be used. However as Yetta points out RHF members need to be cognisant of others outside North America who have made ‘an outstanding contribution’. I believe also that those of us outside the US must be prepared to propose those we know who have made an outstanding contribution within our own countries and internationally.

A major issue I believe for international RHF members is the cost (and time) to attend the annual RHF breakfast. ILA’s decision to move its conference to July makes it difficult for international travellers. For instance, it is considered the peak period to travel to the northern hemisphere from Australia so far ore expensive to travel to US, and it clashes with many of our own national conferences (as it does in Australia).

I would really love to able to attend but my allegiance must first be with the ALEA conference, which for anyone interested is in Tasmania (https://www.englishliteracyconference.com.au), 6-9th July. Now I know that ILA  begins on the 15th, but I am getting too old to end one conference then jump on a plane and male the long haul to Florida so soon after!!

Having said all this, I do appreciate that the discussion has been raised by David on the listserv as I feel I can make more of a contribution via this medium.

We really must make more use of the listserv so as to get discussions on various topics that allows all of us to interact.

Best wishes

The purpose of international relates to decisions about support for travel and to make sure all members become consciously aware that there are outstanding reading/literacy researchers outside of the U.S. and North America who deserve to be recognized.  Until we began to nominate and elect international members separately from U.S. members, there were very few in RHF.  Now our membership is being rewarded with members from a number of countries outside the U.S.  Such discussions are held yearly and decisions made at our breakfast meeting.  I recommend that this item be placed on the agenda at the 2017 breakfast meeting.    Yetta Goodman

Subject: [Reading-hall-of-fame] RHoF Membership

Hello All,

In preparing to do my duty for the newsletter, I looked over last year’s.

I’d like to suggest that we drop the designation “International” in describing members. It seems to come across that we have two categories of membership: members and international members (connoting a second class of membership to the latter). Seems to me we all international members.

(I understand the utility of thinking about the need to maintain a true international membership for RHoF, but perhaps we could make this a more ‘internal’ thing as we think about nominations and elections, rather than having the public designation that we have now.)

I am not sure what the procedure for discussing/acting on this issue might be, but I hope the RHoF leadership can have it raised.

Cheers,
Bill
