I. OVERVIEW

I.1. THE CAMWS HANDBOOK

The CAMWS Handbook is designed to set forth and explain the goals and functions of the CAMWS Committee for the Promotion of Latin (CPLG) and the CAMWS Steering Committee on Awards and Scholarships (SC). It outlines the major duties of committee members and of committee chairs, and it describes the duties of the Regional and State/Provincial Vice-Presidents, as they relate to the functions of these two committees.

I.2. THE COMMITTEE FOR THE PROMOTION OF LATIN (CPLG)

The Committee for the Promotion of Latin (CPLG), a standing committee of CAMWS, was established in 1979 to create new Latin programs, to expand existing Latin programs, and to assist students of Latin in receiving in the greatest benefits from their study of Classics. Today, the Committee’s purpose is to encourage and support all activities that promote the study of Classics, and of Latin in particular, in- and outside of the schools. Its principal role is to increase awareness, at each educational level, of our Classics community by offering (1) funding opportunities for promotional activities in the schools, (2) help for Latin- / Classics programs in crisis, and (3) an ongoing conversation (e.g., via CPLG panels and workshops at the annual meeting) about how the study of Latin and Greek can be promoted best in the field of education. The Committee consists of a chair and a number of regular members appointed in accordance with the Association’s constitution. The Committee for the Promotion of Latin and Greek maintains a section of the CAMWS website: https://camws.org/cpl/index.php.

I.3. THE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE (MC)

The Committee's purpose is to oversee the organization's membership categories. Its principal role is to expand the Association's membership base within all categories. The Committee reports its findings and conclusions to the President, the Secretary-Treasurer, the Executive Committee and, where relevant, other bodies within the organization. The Committee consists of several regular members appointed in accordance with the Association's constitution and a Chair. The Secretary-Treasurer and the President serve as members of the Committee ex officio.

1.4. THE STEERING COMMITTEE ON AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS (SC)

The Committee's purpose is to promote and administer all CAMWS prizes. The Committee is responsible for coordinating the activities and initiatives of the eight subcommittees under its jurisdiction; and for bringing to the attention of the Executive Committee of the Association issues related to awards and scholarships that may arise from the subcommittees related to awards and scholarships. The Committee consists of the chairpersons of the following subcommittees: (1) Excavation Field School Awards; (2) First Book Award; (3) Kraft / CAMWS Teaching Awards; (4) Ladislaus J. Bolchazy Award; (5) School Awards; (6) Semple, Grant, Benario Awards; (7) Stewart Scholarships; (8) Stewart Training and Travel Awards, (9) Fauci, and a committee chair. The Secretary-Treasurer is a member of the Committee ex officio.

1.5. REGIONAL AND STATE/PROVINCIAL VICE-PRESIDENTS

The purpose of the office of Regional / State/Provincial Vice-President is to serve each CAMWS region effectively and to facilitate the work of the CPLG and SC. Each of the eleven Regional Vice-Presidents works with the State/Provincial Vice-Presidents in his or her region (see chart below). The Regional Vice-Presidents coordinate their recruiting efforts and report to the chairs of the Chairs of CPLG and SC at least once per year. Regional and State/Provincial Vice-Presidents serve for a term of three years, and are appointed by the CAMWS President.

The task of the Regional Vice-President falls into three categories. (1) To identify to the Chair of CPLG what activities are being developed in their region that could a) benefit from CAMWS endorsement; b) benefit from CAMWS subvention, where feasible; and c) benefit from CAMWS participation. (2) To identify to the Chair of the Membership Committee where it could target and solicit new members and help promote membership in their region. (3) To identify to the Chair of the Steering Committee on Awards and Scholarships a) who in their region is worthy of recognition by CAMWS for scholarships or awards, and to encourage members of their region to apply for / nominate someone for relevant scholarships and/or awards; b) who in their region could be a potential donors and to recruit them in coordination with the Chair of the Steering Committee on Awards and Scholarships.

II. GUIDELINES FOR THE POST OF STATE/PROVINCIAL VICE - PRESIDENT

II.1. GENERAL STATEMENT

The position of CAMWS State/Provincial Vice Present is not to be undertaken lightly. CAMWS State/Provincial Vice-Presidents have four major areas of responsibility. First, as representatives of CAMWS in their state, they are responsible for handling its day-to-day business at the local level. Second, they work closely with their Regional Vice-President on CPLG. Third, they actively and creatively promote membership in the organization. Fourth, they help to circulate information about and encourage applications for CAMWS awards. Each of these areas of responsibility is outlined below.

II.2. GENERAL DUTIES AS LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES OF CAMWS Overseen By The Secretary-Treasurer

II.2.1. APPOINTMENT AND TERM OF OFFICE

State/Provincial Vice-Presidents are appointed by the CAMWS President. The normal term of office is three years and can be extended. State/Provincial Vice-Presidents who wish to step down before the end of their term are expected to give written notification to the Secretary-Treasurer well before the annual meeting in order to insure a smooth transition. State or provincial Classical organizations are encouraged to become involved in the recruitment of State/Provincial Vice-Presidents for CAMWS and to submit nominations to the Secretary-Treasurer of CAMWS for official appointment by the CAMWS President.

II.2.2. CAMWS ANNUAL MEETING

The State/Provincial Vice-President should make every effort to attend the CAMWS annual meeting and to participate in the joint Vice-Presidents' meeting, during which policies, goals, and strategies are discussed for the upcoming year. This is the best and most reasonable venue for State/Provincial Vice-Presidents to meet with CAMWS officers, other State/Provincial Vice-Presidents, and Regional Vice-Presidents and to gain new ideas and enthusiasm for the work ahead. Vice Presidents are expected to come to this meeting prepared to report briefly on their regions activities and to be ready to discuss strategies for advancing CAMWS and the discipline of classics.

II.2.3. OTHER DUTIES

State/Provincial Vice-Presidents may be called upon to assist with special projects of CAMWS and to promote the work of other standing committees. Each State/Provincial Vice-President is expected to maintain close contact and act as a liaison with his or her state or provincial Classical organization.

II.2.4. EXPENSES
Expenses such as postage related to the responsibilities of the State/Provincial Vice-President can be reimbursed through the CAMWS Secretary-Treasurer.

II.3. CPLG DUTIES
Overseen By The Chair of CPLG

II.3.1. GENERAL STATEMENT

State/Provincial Vice-Presidents are CPLG's official representatives in their states and regions. As such, the State/Provincial Vice-Presidents are expected to encourage instructors of Latin in their areas to submit proposals for Caristia Grants, Student Group Travel Grants, and Bridge Initiative Grants to the CPLG. (See Appendices B, C, D and E.) They also gather information about the state of the Classics in their state or province and serve as vital resources in the creation of new Latin and Greek programs and the preservation of old ones.

II.3.2. CPLG FUNDING REQUESTS

The State/Provincial Vice-Presidents act as the first step in screening the funding requests (Caristia Grant; Bridge Initiative Grant) submitted to the CPLG. The State/Provincial Vice-Presidents are asked to reply promptly when contacted by the Chair of CPL in regard to a funding request. The funding procedure, which is also posted on the CPL web page at https://camws.org/cpl/funding/procedure.html, is as follows:

Requests for CPL funding are submitted either on-line or in hardcopy. Every CPLG funding request is screened first by the Chair of the CPLG and the CAMWS Secretary-Treasurer.
The Chair of the CPL Gthen confirms from the CAMWS office that the grant applicant is a member of CAMWS and sends the request to the appropriate State/Provincial Vice-President.
The State/Provincial Vice-President recommends whether the request should be approved or denied (usually providing a justification in the latter case).
The Chair of the CPLG then contacts the Regional Vice-President.
The Regional Vice-President then approves or refuses the request.
The Regional Vice-President submits the form to the Chair of the CPLG for final consideration.
If approved by the Chair of the CPLG, the form is sent to the Secretary-Treasurer, who in turn, issues the necessary checks.

II.3.3. PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES

As representatives of CPLG, the State/Provincial Vice-Presidents encourage promotional activities in their states. Money is available from CPLG to help fund these activities, and it is the State/Provincial Vice-President's responsibility to make this known to local schools and Classical organizations. A sample list of the types of activities that CPLG has funded can be found on the CAMWS CPLG web site (https://camws.org/cpl/index.php). It should be remembered that CPLG is always interested in new and innovative projects.

Funding is generally available if the activity is aimed primarily at starting new Latin programs or publicizing existing ones. Publicity in local newspapers is especially sought; the aim should be to reach as many people as possible. It is the responsibility of the Vice-President to insure that there is at least one request for CPL funds from his or her state or province annually.

State/Provincial Vice-Presidents should be aware of promotional materials available from CAMWS as well as from other organizations such as the American Classical League, National Junior Classical League, and National Committee for Latin and Greek. Vice-Presidents may find it helpful to distribute such materials to CAMWS members in their state or province.

II.3.4. PUBLICITY AND COMMUNICATION

The State/Provincial Vice-Presidents are responsible for making Latin teachers in their states or provinces aware of CPLG's existence and for getting CPLG materials into their hands. The most efficient way to do this is to set up an email list. Vice-Presidents also receive information each year on CAMWS awards, scholarships, and opportunities for funding. This material should be distributed through the appropriate channels (email and CAMWS state newsletter) to all Latin teachers in the area. Where no state-level CAMWS newsletter exists, the State/Provincial Vice-President should work to institute one since this is an important promotional vehicle. Vice-Presidents should also make every attempt to attend annual meetings of state Classical organizations and to promote CAMWS at these events.

II.3.5. PROGRAM ADVOCACY

CAMWS State/Provincial Vice-Presidents should keep close track of the status of Latin programs in their individual states or provinces. When new programs are being considered, the Vice-Presidents are expected (and thus should be proactive and ready) to provide invaluable advice and counsel, make CPLG promotional materials available, and even suggest funding sources such as CPLG grants. The Vice-President should also work through CPLG to generate letters of support for threatened programs.

II.3.6. LATIN TEACHER PLACEMENT

In states with no regular placement service, the CAMWS State/Provincial Vice-President is the de facto contact for job placement. In most cases all that is necessary is the referral of the inquiry to the ACL Teacher Placement Service. This aspect of the job should be undertaken soberly, with an awareness that not merely does the flourishing and legacy of classical learning depend on this undertaking but also does the very survival of our discipline.

II.3.7. ANNUAL REPORT

Each year, State/Provincial Vice-Presidents are contacted by their Regional Vice-President and reminded to submit a full report on activities that have occurred in their states or provinces that year. Information on membership and scholarship activities should be included in this report. This material, in turn, is used by the Regional Vice-President in producing a regional annual report. These reports are submitted to the CPLG Chair and become part of the CPLG report to the Executive Committee of CAMWS and other members at the CAMWS annual meeting. The regional annual reports are made available to the public on the CPLG website. For guidelines about writing an annual report, see Appendix F.

II.3.8. SUMMARY

The State/Provincial Vice-President is, above all else, the presence of CAMWS in each state or province. The demands of the office on the time of the person holding the position are not as great as they may seem. Much of the State/Provincial Vice-President's work consists of answering letters of inquiry, telephoning, e-mailing, and submitting requests for money from CPLG. These activities do not entail more than a few hours each month. Moreover, the State/Provincial Vice-President frequently represents someone whom everyone in the state or province can approach for information, referral, or help. Above all, the State/Provincial Vice-President must be an active presence, working hard to further the cause of Latin in all of our schools from the lowest grades through college / university.

V. GUIDELINES FOR THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE PROMOTION OF LATIN AND GREEK

V.1. GENERAL STATEMENT

The Chair of CPLG serves a three-year term. Successive terms are possible although it is advisable that the Chair serve no more than two consecutive terms to enable other individuals with new approaches and new ideas to chair the committee. The CPLG Chair is also an ex-officio voting member of the CAMWS Executive Committee. Most of the business of the Executive Committee is conducted on line and all members are expected to participate fully in electronic conversations about issues and to cast votes promptly. The Executive Committee also traditionally meets on the Wednesday preceding the annual meeting.

The Chair works closely with the President, the Secretary-Treasurer of CAMWS, and the Chair of the Steering Committee on Scholarships and Awards. Most of the contact of the Chair with the State/Provincial Vice-Presidents should be through the Regional Vice-Presidents.

V.2. DUTIES

V.2.1. CONTACT AND SCHEDULING

The primary job of the Chair is to keep the machinery of CPLG moving. The Chair sees that the Regional Vice-Presidents are in regular contact with their State/Provincial Vice-Presidents. This is most easily done through e-mail, letters and telephone calls. Two letters a year are usually adequate, but more may be necessary. At least once a year the Chair should write a letter of appreciation directly to the State/Provincial Vice-Presidents. A copy of this letter goes to the CAMWS Secretary-Treasurer and to the President. The Chair will also distribute off prints, data, and promotional ideas to the Regional Vice-Presidents.

V.2.2. CPLG WEB SITE

The CPLG Chair maintains a web site (https://camws.org/cpl/index.php ) that contains forms for CPLG grants, a spreadsheet of current CPLG grants, information about upcoming CPLG panels, various promotional materials, and a current list of CAMWS Vice-Presidents.

V.2.3. CPLG FUNDING

The Chair has direct responsibility for the CPLG budget and all funding requests are routed through the Chair to the CAMWS Secretary-Treasurer. Each funding request will require the input of the state and regional vice president before it is approved or refused by the Chair.

The funding procedure, which is also posted on the CPLG web page (https://camws.org/cpl/funding/procedure.html), is as follows:

Requests for CPLG funding are submitted either on-line. Every CPLG funding request is screened first by the Chair of the CPLG and the CAMWS Secretary-Treasurer.
The Chair of the CPLG then confirms from the CAMWS office that the grant applicant is a member of CAMWS and sends the request to the appropriate State/Provincial Vice-President.
The State/Provincial Vice-President recommends whether the request should be approved or denied (usually providing a justification in the latter case).
The Chair of the CPLG then contacts the Regional Vice-President.
The Regional Vice-President then approves or refuses the request.
The Regional Vice-President submits the form to the Chair of the CPLG for final consideration.
If approved by the Chair of the CPLG, the form is sent to the Secretary-Treasurer, who in turn, issues the necessary checks.

If not approved, the Chair of the CPLG informs the person submitting the original request that it has not be approved. The Chair may suggest possible ways to amend the request so that its acceptance might be granted when resubmitted. Copies of this correspondence are sent to the appropriate State and Regional Vice Presidents, as well. The Chair may consult with the members of the Committee about a particular funding request. The Chair will consult with the Committee about funding request policies and requirements. After consultation with the Secretary-Treasurer, the Committee may make recommendations in regard to changes in the CPLG budget or other related matters.

Funds expended or encumbered are recorded on a spreadsheet by the CAMWS Secretary-Treasurer.

V.2.4. PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS

The CPLG Chair maintains a supply of various promotional materials and provides them in bulk free of charge to CAMWS members.

Recipients can be Classicists or non-Classicists who have made special contributions to the promotion of Latin and Greek and Classical studies, especially at the state and local level in CAMWS territory. Ideal candidates are those who perhaps do not interact frequently, if at all, at large meetings, but nevertheless make a big difference in their areas, states, or provinces. Suitable candidates for this award could also include parents or community members who have supported local Latin programs in very notable ways, companies that generously donate money or other resources for the promotion of Latin and Greek, school administrators who have helped Latin teachers of programs with access to school rooms or supplies or extra funds, newspapers or magazines that have given free advertising for events, benefactors who have given money for books or scholarships, or perhaps students who have promoted Latin in an original manner.

CPLG Grants & Samples of Activities Eligible for Funding

I. Caristia Grant
Proxima cognati dixere Caristia cari,
et venit ad socios turba propinqua deos
(Ovid, Fasti 2.617-618)

The Roman festival known as the Caristia took place on the 22nd of February (VIII Kal. Mart). A time for family members to reunite and renew their ties, the Caristia involved a potluck meal.

CPLG would like to send you money to help you bring your classroom "family" together for a gathering. All you need to do to apply is complete and send in a simple application online (https://camws.org/cpl/funding/procedure.html) or in hardcopy (see Appendix E).

I.1. You could use a Caristia grant to help defray the costs of

a field trip to a museum
a birthday party for Augustus
a birthday party for Rome
a poetry reading
a family fun day
going to TJCL 2009
a post-victory celebration
an Eta Sigma Phi initiation and senior recognition reception
inviting someone to speak to your class
traveling to a state convention
purchasing a buzzer system for certamen events
competing in the World Languages Academic Bowl 2009
an ice cream social
performing a ritual
or a simple Caristia banquet

Use your imagination. We want to give you money to support your program and to foster interest in Latin and Classical culture.

Once you receive the money, we will ask only that you do two things for us:
1. indicate as appropriate that the occasion received support from CAMWS
2. have someone take a digital photograph of your gathering, which you will then send to cplg@camws.org, and we will put it up on our website.
We want as many CAMWS members as possible to take advantage of this grant. It will be a wonderful way for CAMWS to help you, and once your photographs are up on the webpage, it is a way for all of us and our students to get to know each other.

II. Bridge Initiative Grant (BIG)

Classicists are, in essence, bridge-makers (pontifices). It is sobering to realize that those who study and teach the ancient world are the only means of connecting the present with the past—the only ones who make possible that ongoing conversation between our children and our parents and grandparents which is the basis of Western culture. Now, especially in times of economic crisis, many of those bridges are in danger of being weakened or destroyed.

CAMWS’s primary mission in the 21st century is to strengthen existing bridges and build new ones. The main way we do this is through supporting those who teach the Classics in our schools and universities. Through encouraging outreach outside school settings, we hope to help build bridges to the larger community. We also seek to form more bridges between the various levels of our profession. We are therefore unveiling our new

Bridge Initiative Grant (BIG) program, an ongoing campaign that will boost in a powerful way the work of the CAMWS Committee for the Promotion of Latin and Greek (CPLG). We hope to do this both by increasing dramatically the number of grants and by making sure that each grant has the highest impact.

The CPLG has always sought to encourage any and all activities that promote the Classics, both in and outside of schools: toga parties, plays, videos, reading groups, rallies, Classics Days, etc. But we also want to increase awareness, at each educational level of our Classics community, of the good things that are being done at other levels. Now more than ever, K-12 teachers and college teachers need to be supporting and communicating with one another on a regular basis. The BIG program is designed to facilitate this support and communication. An example of how it works: A high school Latin teacher (call her "Marcia") applies for a CAMWS BIG, which range from $50 to $500. In addition to the money (which, as noted above, we are trying to give away, so viable projects are likely to get it), CAMWS sends Marcia a letter of appreciation and a handsome certificate. CAMWS then alerts all the member colleges and universities within Marcia’s region. The chairs of these institutions (sensing an excellent recruiting opportunity) send letters of appreciation to Marcia (including some information about their own Classics programs), and the enterprising ones (recognizing an occasion to remind their administration of the importance of Classics) draft similar letters for their deans, provosts, and/or presidents to send—since, as everyone knows, students with strong backgrounds in Latin have the highest test scores, the best thinking and writing skills, and the greatest likelihood of succeeding in college and beyond.

Under this BIG scenario, everybody wins. As the recipient of an external grant and the possessor of a sheaf of letters from college faculty and administrators to be shown (or perhaps, at her request, sent directly) to her principal, school board, legislators, etc., Marcia is now in a strong position to argue for the centrality of her Latin program. And the colleges in Marcia’s area now know an enterprising teacher who may send them budding classicists, employ their graduates as teachers and tutors, and in turn remind college and university administrators of the importance of Classics in education.

Applications can be submitted online (https://camws.org/cpl/funding/procedure.html) or in hardcopy (see Appendix E).

II.1. Samples of Activities for BIG Funding

SPEAKERS
On certain occasions, speakers can be brought in to address well-attended meetings, rallies, and the like for students of Classics. CPLG can contribute a maximum of $500.00 for such speakers. Priority is given, in this and in all activities, to those initiatives that have local funding and which the CPLG grant will supplement. Know in advance whom you are inviting: Regional Vice-Presidents and the Chair of CPLG are, in most cases, the best speakers to help increase local interest and to talk about ways of promoting Latin. It should be noted, however, that even in these cases speakers are considered a low priority in the awarding of CPLG funds.

DEMONSTRATIONS
Various sorts of demonstrations ranging from production of Latin plays at meetings to displays in malls, schools, and PTA Meetings have all been funded. Films can also be rented in situations in which showing them would encourage the study of Latin. Funds to offset the production of a video, plays, and events that could be offered in turn for use by Classicists throughout the CAMWS territory have been granted in recent years.

Appendix C

PROCEDURE FOR REQUESTING CPLG FUNDS

I. Eligibility

CPLG Funding is available only to members of CAMWS. If you aren't a member of CAMWS, then it's not too late to join!

II. Funding Procedure

Requests for CPLG are submitted to the chair of CPLG and to the Secretary-Treasurer.
The chair of the CPLG then confirms from the CAMWS office that the grant applicant is a member of CAMWS and sends the request to the appropriate state vice president.
The State/Provincial Vice-President recommends whether the request should be approved or denied (usually providing a justification in the latter case).
The chair then contacts the Regional Vice President.
The Regional Vice President then approves or refuses the request.
The Regional Vice President submits the form to the Chair of the CPLG for final consideration.
If approved by the Chair of the CPLG, the form is sent to the Secretary-Treasurer, who in turn, issues the necessary checks.
If not approved, the Chair of the CPLG informs the person submitting the original request that it has not be approved. The Chair may suggest possible ways to amend the request so that its acceptance might be granted when resubmitted. Copies of this correspondence are sent to the appropriate State and Regional Vice Presidents, as well.While the members of the CPLG try to act upon request quickly, as much time as possible should be allowed for this process. It sometimes takes a while for the final decision/check to reach the party making the request for funds.

APPENDIX D

SUGGESTED CRITERIA FOR REVIEWING CPLG FUNDING REQUESTS

The CPLG budget usually averages between $100 and $250 per state or province.
• If this was the ONLY request you could approve to promote Latin in your area this year, is this how you would spend it?
From time to time CPLG may develop a special focus or objective for the year.
• Does this request help CPLG to reach that objective?
One of the primary purposes of CPLG is to start new Latin programs and to expand those programs that that already exist.
• Does this request help CPLG to reach this goal?
Sometimes, it is better to fund a few large projects than many small ones. Large projects attract more attention and may inspire Latin teachers in other areas.
• How many people will be aware of this project and how much good will it accomplish?
It is often better to fund activities that will have a lasting impact or which will produce re- usable materials. An activity that will take place only once and not have much effect is probably not the best use of CPLG funds.
• Would this request produce any lasting benefit for Latin in your area?
Seed money for new initiatives should have higher priority than annual requests. In general, CPLG should not be looked upon as a regular source of funding, but should provide supplemental aid or the start-up of long-term initiatives.
• Have other sources of funding been sought for this activity?

Appendix F

ANNUAL REPORT GUIDELINES

GENERAL STATEMENT

Each year, State/Provincial Vice-Presidents are contacted by their Regional Vice-President and asked to submit information on activities that have occurred in their states or provinces that year. Information on membership and scholarship activities should also be included. This material, in turn, is used by the Regional Vice-President in producing an annual regional report. These ten regional reports are submitted to the CPLG Chair and become part of the CPLG report to the Executive Committee of CAMWS. Copies are available to those who attend the CAMWS annual meeting and are also available by mail and on the CPLG web site. This statement describes the process and the purpose but not timing, content, and format. The state report must be in the hands of the Regional Vice-President by February 1st. The regional report must be sent to the CPLG Chair by March 1st. While these dates sound early, please remember that there is a lot of labor involved in collating the reports and printing them out in time for the CAMWS annual meeting.

SUGGESTED CONTENT FOR ANNUAL REPORT

1.   Information on the activities of the state/provincial Classical association;
2.   Promotional activities in the state or province;
3.   CAMWS membership (efforts at promotion and results);
4.   Efforts in the state or province to meet the CPLG annual goals;
5.   Use of CPLG monies, interest in CAMWS scholarships, etc.;
6.   Problems and challenges in the state or province;
7.   Other information from the state/province pertinent to the organization

SUGGESTED FORMAT

Reports should be written in the third person. Individuals should not be mentioned just by first name alone. Use both first and last name the first time and last name in subsequent references.
Abbreviations and acronyms should always be explained the first time they are used. Please remember that you are not just writing this for people in your state, province, or region. (ISU, for example, can mean Illinois State University or Indiana State University.)
State reports should not be based solely upon the activities of any one individual or institution but should reflect the activities of people and institutions throughout the state.
The regional report should not be a simple compendium of the state/provincial reports. Rather, some attempt should be made to treat the materially regionally.
