Thank you all for all your suggestions relating to a tribute to Dr.
Barrow.
Here's what I propose relative to immediate action:
1. Given the response from the membership on making a contribution to
the Barrow scholarship fund, let's take $500 from the MAC treasury and
make an immediate contribution in Dr. Barrow's name during this time of
their loss.
2. We can then vote at the annual meeting on the amount of our annual
contribution. (This will be in addition to the $500)
3. I can approach AEJ on a tribute page for the conference bulletin and
help work out the details. ( Anyone willing to work on that, let me
know) As Camilla suggested, we can publish names of donors as part of a
two-page spread.
4. We can make plans to have a fundraiser for the scholarship in August.
Any volunteers?
5. I'll send a card and flowers on behalf of MAC to the Barrow family.
6. Jennifer has agreed to investigate if the Council of Divisions -- to
see if they can place a special panel on the schedule to honor and
remember who Lee was and what he meant to the diversity efforts of all
of AEJMC.
Did I miss anything?

I concur. In addition to a web tribute, perhaps AEJMC and MAC could
publish tributes in the convention program. For the MAC tribute, it
would be nice to have a two-page format. The tribute and a picture on
the front page, and a list of scholarship donors on the back page.
Donor recognition may inspire gifts and matching gifts amongst the
likes of AEJMC, AEJMC divisions, individuals, as well as JMC programs
and organizations. We could even get really creative and list
scholarship donors by categories such as dream partners ($0-$99), vision
partners ($100-$499), and legacy partners $500 - $1000 or more...perhaps
the PR people can be more creative. Moving forward, we could encourage
repeat contributions as well as new donors. This initiative would honor
the legacy of Dr. Lee and address the decreasing scholarship value
pointed up by Federico. What are your thoughts?

Dear Jennifer:
I join our colleagues in AEJMC in urging our Association to take
a public position on the life and death of Dr. Lee Barrow.
I am away at a site visit so I cannot do as much as I should,
but here is a beginning statement that I would like to see posted in
conjunction with other tributes to Dr. Barrow:
The faculty, students and staff members in the John H. Johnson
School of Communications share the grief of the family of the former
dean of our school, Dr. Lionel Barrow, on his death. Dean Barrow led the
school for 10 years, bringing stability to the young school, introducing
a strong graduate and research focus and establishing an enduring
linkage between the school and the radio and television stations owned
by the University. In his work in national communication associations,
he was a pioneer in developing initiatives that focused on diversity
concerns. We will miss his candor and courage.
