8:45 – 10:00 AM Plenary Panel – “Networks — Human and Telecommunications — in the CENIC Context:  Perspectives from CENIC Charter Associates”
Like many in the Quilt community, CENIC is made up of a broad spectrum of participating institutions, in the CENIC lexicon: “charter associates.”  These organizations chartered CENIC, make up the governance of the organization, and with the CENIC staff, shape the course for the future.  While the impetus for R&E networking came from the “R,” the research community, there are numerous perspectives that have created the CENIC community.  In this session, Quilt members will hear from leaders representing several of the CENIC Charter Associate segments:  K12, California Community Colleges, public libraries, and governmental institutions in California.   The panelists will discuss the value of this association to their individual segments, and the collective value of CENIC as an organization representing the broad community of research and education institutions in California, along with their diverse partners within the state, nationally, and internationally.
Panelists:
• Louis Fox, President and CEO, CENIC (Moderator)
• Kimberley Lewis, Legislative Advocate
• Deborah Ludford, District Director, Information Services, North Orange County Community College District
• Terry Walker, Superintendent, Irvine Unified School District
• Patty Wong, Director of Library Services, Santa Monica Public Library
