History and Archives Committee Report BPD 2006

The History and Archives Committee is preparing for Destin in 2008.  John King  is working on getting funding for a  commemorative timeline that would be given to all attendees.  We are also working on a history of BPD from the time of its inception.  Various ideas about who  would publish this  are under consideration.  The committee would like to include in this volume the previous publications on the  history  if permissions can be obtained  and  then bring the history up to the present.  Paul Stuart will take the lead on this. 

We are also planning   a salon with previous presidents [particularly those from the early days] and early leaders of BPD present.  Since most people are planning to go to Destin, we think we would have a substantial body of such people present.  The salon would be a sharing of memories  and would be an immersion experience in the history of BPD. 

We also are projecting a game involving  episodes in the early history of BPD and leaders etc that all who wanted to could play and turn in answers at the booth.  The most correct answers wins accolades and a copy of the book. 

We are also looking for people who have documents and memories about  preBSW accreditation or who were on the CSWE accreditation commission during the  time accreditation for BSW programs  was under consideration.   Dean Pierce and I are considering a history of BSW accreditation.  If you have material that would help with this project please  e-mail pmunke@aol.com.  We will have a call on the BPD list serve shortly for this material.
