Update from the Chair: President Larry Bacow I am pleased to report on our preparations for the Talloires Network’s upcoming global leadership conference in Madrid in June 2011. Our first day of proceedings, Tuesday, June 14, will be held at Banco Santander’s Financial City in Madrid; during the subsequent two days, we will meet on the campus of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Other highlights will include a reception at the residence of US Ambassador to Spain Alan Solomont and the presentation of the 2011 MacJannet Prize for Global Citizenship. I invite you to review our preliminary agenda for more information. We will soon provide additional information on accommodations and the availability of travel grants. In addition to keynote addresses by international leaders in university civic engagement, the conference will feature small break-out sessions to fully engage all participants in the discussion on the current state and future possibilities for socially responsible and engaged universities. This will be the first full meeting of the presidents, vice-chancellors, and rectors of Talloires Network universities since our founding conference in 2005. We will also be joined by funders, journalists, and representatives of regional higher education networks. I look forward to a dynamic and engaging exchange of ideas! A reminder: The nomination deadline for this year’s MacJannet Prize is December 15. The Prize recognizes outstanding civic engagement programs at our member universities and contributes financially to their ongoing service efforts. I encourage you to visit our website to learn more about the Prize and to nominate a program.
