Conflict of Interest Working Group – this page is for COI members only

Agenda

1. Approve Minutes from January Meeting.
2. Who can present Master Classes and Retreats? Why not members?
3. BWW promotion of non-BWW member books. Should it be allowed and if so through which venues – newsletter, website, etc, just What’s Happening? Should What’s Happening? Be expanded to include more than just events? This could be books of presenters of MC/Retreats that are popular with members and tend to come back for more MC’s/Retreats. Could be friends of members. Could be book reviews of books are members love. Could be reviews of craft books that members found useful.

Later:

1. Conclude assessing, after Kathy has time to research, whether a potential framework for a partnership opportunity with a non-BWW event is feasible, given our status, where the partner is a for-profit organization (or individual).
2. Can a Board or BWW Member whose book has been chosen in a blind reading process by the Publishing Team receive services paid by BWW which help to publish their book?
