**List Looking for a Host** ACED-I is wanting to start a LISTSERV
list for its own use. The Association of Conference and Events
Directors--International (ACED-I) currently consists of over five
hundred (500) members, most of whom work for colleges and
universities. Members plan educational workshops and conferences,
and seek to maximize use of university facilities, especially in
the summer. Residence halls, classroom buildings and athletic
facilities which otherwise would be vacant are filled, often times
to capacity, by ACED-I members who recruit and serve various
educational conference groups. Many of the workshops involve high
school students, and thus student recruitment is yet another fringe
benefit of ACED-I member activities.
A few ACED-I members are on CompuServe which has been used sparsely
but effectively by the few members connected to it. Since most
ACED-I members are connected to mainframe computers for on-campus
electronic mail, the Association anticipates greater acceptance
and increased use of a mailing system which is tied in with
computers with which they are already familiar.
ACED-I anticipates that perhaps up to 200 members would take part
in such a system, with a message load of 50-60 per month initially.
Please contact [log in to unmask] if you have interest in
working with ACED-I in this project. I am located at Ball State
University in Muncie, Indiana. I am Director of Conferences and
Special Events here, and also currently serve as President of
ACED-I. My direct telephone number is (317) 285-1397.
