Cheryl Glenn, the CCCC Convention Chair, is interested in finding ways to help international participants to get the most out of the 2007 CCCC Convention in New York (March 21-24, 2007). Below, I have attached her message to the Executive Committee with a list of sessions with an international theme.
Each year, CCCC hosts a morning reception for first-time CCCC attendees from 7 a.m. to 8:15 a.m.--before the Opening General Session. If this is your first CCCC, you'll receive an invitation to this social event, where you will get to meet other first timers as well as many seasoned participants. I will be there to meet many of you as well.
To recognize the presence and contribution of all international participants, Cheryl has also asked me to compile a list of names and email addresses of international participants, including international students and faculty who are studying and/or teaching in North America. If you come from a country other than the United States, please visit the following web site to get on the list of international participants at CCCC 2007.

Also, the CCCC Committee on Second Language Writing will host an annual open meeting Saturday morning. Susan Miller-Cochran and I have requested a room from 9 to 12 on Saturday, March 24, 2007. As usual, it will not appear on the session schedule in the program because it is a committee meeting; instead, the time and room will be listed under committee meetings. At the meeting, we will discuss the status of L2 issues at CCCC and plan activities and sessions for the following year. Please feel free to drop by even for a few minutes just to say "hi" to a friendly community of L2 writing people at CCCC and to learn about various professional opportunities.

Subject: [cccc-executive-committee] Sessions with International Perspectives at CCCC 2007
Dear Colleagues,
As you all probably know by now, this year's convention will host folks from every state in the union as well as from twenty countries outside the USA. I very much hope that our international guests will have a productive time with us--and that they'll return next year. Meeting in midtown Manhattan is a financial burden for all of us, to be sure, but for folks from Turkey, Lebanon, and China, the financial investment is even greater. So I'm thinking that if we work together to make the convention worth their investment, we'll also be enriching our own convention experiences and professional perspectives.
To that end, I am enlisting your support in introducing yourself to these folks, many of whom will be first-time attendees. You may recognize them by their institutional affiliation or their burgundy ribbon. I also encourage you to make the time to attend one of their sessions, which I've listed below. (I think I've located all of them and apologize ahead of time if I've missed any. Please feel free to emend and/or circulate my list.)
Thank you for considering my request.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all in March!
Cheryl
