Parliamentarian extraordinaire Scott Burns is not only our advisor on Roberts Rules of Order, he also spends a lot of time in San Francisco on a regular basis. He’s applied his knowledge to an incredibly handy 11-page guide to SF for everyone coming to town for this year’s cartoonist convention.
You can download a PDF of it here: The AAEC_ACC Guide to SF
(Scott has also volunteered a great deal of time to help plan this years gathering, so maybe buy him a drink when you see him later this week!)
We’ll warm up this morning with this NYTimes gem that’s been going around social media for the past 24 hours. It’s a reminder once again...
The AAEC John Locher Memorial Fellowship is awarded each year to one early-career cartoonist whose work demonstrates clear opinions and strong artistry on political and social topics. Deadline to be considered is the end of March.
The Locher Fellow will receive a one-year Regular membership in the AAEC, be a guest of the CXC Festival — held every fall in Columbus, Ohio — and have the opportunity to meet with editorial cartoonists during the year of the Fellowship for portfolio reviews and career advice.
Every two weeks throughout the year, The Learning Forum and the AAEC offers CARTOONS FOR THE CLASSROOM, a free lesson resource for teachers discussing current events. Visit NIEonline.com for more lesson plans.
