Update from the Chair: President Mark Gearan For the first time since our founding conference in 2005, the Talloires Network convened university leaders from across our entire membership to discuss the future of the global movement for civic engagement in higher education. The Talloires Network Leaders Conference, hosted by the Autonomous University of Madrid in June 2011, brought together university civic engagement stakeholders from around the world, including university presidents, leaders of higher education networks, staff, students, and philanthropic leaders. The conference also marked a transition in the leadership of the Talloires Network. After leading the Network since its founding in 2005, President Larry Bacow stepped down at the Madrid Conference. I had the honor of taking his place as Chair of the Talloires Network Steering Committee. Most of our original Steering Committee members also stepped down last year, and our membership ratified a diverse slate of new Steering Committee members. I look forward to working with these new members, and I am committed to continuing the progress made under the leadership of President Bacow and the previous Steering Committee. With the continued commitment of our members, I believe that 2012 will be another year of tremendous growth and progress for the Talloires Network. 2012 MacJannet Prize call for nominations National University of Malaysia Organizes AsiaEngage Opportunities 2012 Outreach Scholarship/W.K.
